    Violence or physical abuse toward your spouse or domestic partner. In other words- voilence by men against women.

    Or women against men ;)

    I agree , but some women are abusers too!

    This is violence within domestic / familial / extended family / common-law relationships.

    Would this also include abuse against children?

    No, that is a separate category. It's child abuse. Domestic abuse deals with adults.
