5. VIOLATIONS: The Abuse Categories
1. Economic disempowerment causes a person or a group of people to be less likely than others to succeed within our society. This prevents a person or group from having power, authority, or influence due to financial status.
2. Political domination can be found in various groups all around the world. These groups form regimes of systematic discrimination against minority groups based on race, religion, gender, status, and beliefs. For example, capitalist patriarchy grants the right to dominate and rule over the weak.
3. Sexual Violence refers to sexual activity where consent is not obtained or not given freely. Anyone can experience sexual violence, but most victims are female. Just a few examples of sexual violence include: incest, child abuse, harassment, assault, elder abuse, sexual abuse towards males or boys, rape, sexual abuse of those disabled, etc.
4. Domestic violence is the willful intimidation, physical assault, battery, sexual assault, and/or other abusive behavior as part of a systematic pattern of power and control perpetrated by one intimate partner against another.
5. Disinheritance refers to leaving a family member or loved one out of your last will. Before you die, you need to have written a will — a document that lists where you want your money and property to go after your death — in order to disinherit someone. When your wealthy relative actually removes your name from her will, she officially disinherits you.
