The power of words: Addressing verbal abuse in promoting safe spaces for women

This article helps us realize that verbal abuse can and does occur everywhere from America to Zimbabwe and that although the cultures are very different, the styles of the verbal abusers and the psychological effects of the abused are universal.  The tactics that the abusers use to break down the abused parallel each other worldwide:  they will stress their partners inadequacy and ineptitude, wreaking havoc on the abused sense of self-worth and self-confidence.  And all this typically goes on behind closed doors.
