Women are the ones who statistically experience domestic abuse, but there are also cases of men that are permanently afraid of their wife’s or girlfriend’s violent outbursts. Violence can be physical or psychological, which is why it is common to distinguish between physical domestic abuse and psychological domestic abuse.
Domestic abuse, as a pattern of behaviour, is a serious crime in Spain and it differs from occasional abuse as it carries a more severe sentence – it can lead to three years in jail.[/vc_column_text][mk_padding_divider size=”20″][mk_button_gradient dimension=”flat” size=”large” corner_style=”rounded” grandient_color_from=”#45b7d4″ grandient_color_to=”#45b7d4″ url=”https://patonyasociados.com/en/contact/” align=”center” el_class=”max400″]IN NEED OF A LAWYER WHO SPECIALISES IN DOMESTIC ABUSE?[/mk_button_gradient][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][mk_padding_divider][mk_custom_box background_hov_color_style=”image” elevation_effect=”true”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][mk_image src=”https://patonyasociados.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/p6-1.png” image_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”5/6″][mk_fancy_title size=”18″ font_family=”Ubuntu” font_type=”google”]WHAT TO DO IF…[/mk_fancy_title][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1569428053012{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]People who are experiencing domestic abuse usually suffer greatly in silence. Many victims are ashamed to speak out about their situation, but often the reason behind the silence is that the abuser has isolated them from their environment – family and friends – so they can’t turn to anyone for protection.
Additionally, victims are usually scared to report their situation because they know they will have to confront their abuser, who is the person that has made them live in fear.
Fortunately, Spain offers many resources that support all victims so they can get out of the abusive situation they are experiencing, and to help them decide to take the important step that is reporting it.[/vc_column_text][/mk_custom_box][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][mk_padding_divider][mk_custom_box elevation_effect=”true”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][mk_image src=”https://patonyasociados.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/p7.png” image_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”5/6″][mk_fancy_title size=”18″ font_family=”Ubuntu” font_type=”google”]EXAMPLES OF DOMESTIC ABUSE SITUATIONS
