    The document discusses domestic violence and why many cases go unreported. It defines domestic violence as a pattern of behavior used to gain power and control over an intimate partner, and notes it can take physical, emotional, sexual, economic or psychological forms. Statistics show that while 36% of cases are reported in Iceland and Denmark, the vast majority (88%) go unreported. The main reasons for this are fear of retaliation, financial problems, damage to reputation, the difficulty identifying emotional abuse, threats from abusers, and feelings of isolation. Signs of domestic abuse include bullying, controlling finances, isolating the victim from support systems, and physical or sexual violence.
