This survey serves as a guide for orientation for identifying violence in intimate partner relationships.

Has this ever happened to you/ Does your partner ever:

• Ponižuje Vás partner verbálne – nadáva Vám?
• Has your partner ever attacked you physically (elbowed you, kicked you, cut you etc.)?
• Does he intimidate you by violent behavior?
• Does he attack people outside the household?
• Does partner threaten to kill (you) or suicide (himself)?
• Is your partner extremely possessive to you or your children?
• Does he prevent you from contact with your family or friends, isolate you from the environment?
• Does he control you or stalk you?
• Does he force you to do trivial activities or behave according to his rules?
• Does he try to control or manipulate you through children?
• Does he not give you enough money or you have to ask for them?
• Does he knowingly destroy your favorite things?
• Is your partner addicted?
• Has he been previously convicted of a crime?
• Do you feel threat to your life or health?
• Does he force you to have sex when you refuse?
• Do the attacks on you have escalating tendency? Do they occur more frequently?
• After an attack does a partner try to apologize, promise you that this will not be repeated?

Pokiaľ ste odpovedala kladne na niektorú z uvedených možností, môže u Vás ísť o domáce násilie. Ak ste odpovedali kladne na viac ako polovicu otázok, pravdepodobne žijete v násilníckom vzťahu – STE ŽENA, NA KTOREJ JE PÁCHANÉ NÁSILIE.

Every woman has the right to live without violence, therefore if you live in a violent relationship, do not tolerate further violence and do not be shy to seek professional help. Violence by itself will not stop! Violence has tendency to deteriorate.
