The effects of domestic violence on victims can be profound and long-lasting. Physically, victims may suffer from injuries that can lead to chronic health issues. Emotionally and psychologically, they may experience anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and a diminished sense of self-worth. The impact can extend beyond the individual, affecting children who witness the violence and leading to intergenerational cycles of abuse. Victims may also face economic hardships due to job loss or inability to work, further complicating their ability to escape the abusive situation.
