The result of such physical violence can range from bruising to killing what may often start out as apparently minor attacks can escalate both in intensity and frequency. The term is used narrowly to cover incidents of physical attack, when it may take the form of physical and sexual violations. Having included domestic violence as a form of violence against women, the United Nations further explained that: The term ‘domestic violence’ is used to describe actions and omissions that occur in varying relationships. The United Nations defined the term “violence against women” in a 1993 Declaration as “any act of gender-based violence that results in, or is likely to result in, physical, sexual or psychological harm or suffering to women, including threats of such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in public or private life”.
