Anita Pildes gave us many insights as to the type of domestic abuse that happens in intimate relationships. That is separate from child or elder abuse. One in three women are in some kind of abusive relationship, and for men the number is one in four. This statistic is the same across financial status, geography, race, or religion.   SHALVA assists Jewish men or women in an abusive relationship with counseling and temporary housing and if needed court related support emotional support. She also offered great things to say to someone and how to help them should you see them being abused.
