The law applies equally regardless of gender or the status of the relationship. Both women and men can be victims of violence from a family member and violence can occur in heterosexual and same-sex relationships. 5, record 1, English, - spousal%20abuse

Dans ces cas, les conjoints maltraités ont le choix de retourner dans leur foyer pour y trouver la sécurité et la protection de leur famille. 5, record 2, French, - conjoint%20maltrait%C3%A9
