Summary/Abstract: Animus Association is a non-governmental organization that offers psychological and social assistance for women, adolescents and children who have experienced violence. Violence is generally defined as the exercise of actions directed at an individual or group of individuals, despite their will and stated disagreement. The distinction between types of violence is intended to facilitate understanding of the problem. Physical, sexual and emotional abuse are most often present in the public language. Other, more specific types are domestic violence and workplace violence. In reality, no form is autonomous - for example, sexual abuse is almost always accompanied by physical coercion, and domestic violence also implies emotional harassment.
