Abuse can take many forms, including physical, emotional, sexual, and financial abuse. Physical abuse involves causing bodily harm or injury, while emotional abuse includes manipulation, intimidation, or verbal attacks that harm a person's self-esteem. Sexual abuse refers to any non-consensual sexual act, and financial abuse involves controlling a person's financial resources without their consent.
Another type of abuse is neglect, which occurs when a caregiver fails to provide necessary care, leading to harm or risk to an individual. Digital abuse is also emerging, where technology is used to harass or control someone, often through social media or messaging platforms.
