Domestic violence is not limited to married couples; violent behavior between couples also falls under the category of domestic violence. Recently, actress 吳婉君 reported being assaulted by actor 趙駿亞, which has drawn public attention. According to the Domestic Violence Prevention Act, regardless of whether cohabitation exists, partners who have had an emotional relationship and have experienced violence or mental abuse can apply for a protection order. Additionally, a self-assessment tool provided by the Ministry of Health and Welfare helps identify the health status of intimate relationships. If you encounter domestic violence or are being stalked or harassed, you should seek professional help as soon as possible, such as calling a hotline or seeking assistance from a local domestic violence prevention center.

Does domestic violence include romantic relationships? Recently, the private affair between female celebrity 吳婉君 and male star 趙駿亞 has attracted attention, especially as 吳婉君 filed a lawsuit against 趙駿亞 for assault, sparking widespread social discussion. Many people are questioning whether violence between couples falls under the category of domestic violence, and how to seek help or respond to stalking and harassment situations has also become a focal point.

According to the definition in the Domestic Violence Prevention Act of 1998, domestic violence was initially limited to between family members. However, the law was expanded in a 2007 amendment to include individuals who are "currently or have ever had a cohabitation relationship." Due to the frequent occurrences of violent relationships and breakup violence, the Legislative Yuan passed an amendment in 2015 to add a "Terror Ex-Boyfriend/Girlfriend Clause." Under the current legal regulations, partners, whether cohabiting or not, can apply for protection orders.

The scope of domestic violence also covers behaviors such as psychological or economic harassment and control. Surveys show that the prevalence of psychological violence is higher than that of physical violence. Psychological violence includes verbal abuse, psychological abuse, and sexual abuse. These behaviors can have serious effects on the mental and physical health of the victims.

If experiencing domestic violence, victims can call 110 to report to the police or seek assistance from the 113 protection hotline. Domestic violence and sexual assault prevention centers in various counties and cities offer a range of services, including psychological rehabilitation, shelter services, and legal assistance.

In the process of seeking a protection order, victims should document relevant evidence, such as recordings and videos, and seek medical help to obtain injury verification. Different types of protection orders can be classified based on urgency into emergency protection orders, temporary protection orders, and regular protection orders.

Furthermore, if stalked without having a relationship with the individual, one can protect themselves according to the Stalking and Harassment Prevention Act. This law clearly defines various stalking behaviors, and if encountering such situations, one can seek help from the police and provide relevant evidence.
