It can happen in any kind of relationship — not just with husbands and wives or boyfriends and girlfriends (intimate partners) and the abuse doesn’t have to involve hurt to your body\, or physical violence\, to be FDV. FDV can happen to anyone — regardless of country\, religion\, sexuality\, gender\, social background socio-economic status\, age or culture.*  \nHow big a problem is FDV in Australia?  \nFDV is a serious and widespread problem in Australia\, but it is also preventable. To prevent FDV we need to understand it. Check out the Our Watch key statistics page to understand the extent of FDV in Australia.
