Violence against women is not limited to a specific age group. It affects women from all ages, ethnicities, socio-economic backgrounds, religions, cultures, nationalities, and sexual orientations. Violence against women in later life can be perpetrated against someone healthy, ailing, or disabled. Perpetrator can be her partner, spouse, or companion, family relatives, formal and informal caregivers. Often the abuser is the primary caregiver, thus making the elder woman even more dependent on the abuser and isolated from others.
