For this directory, abuse in later life can include male and female victims, age 50 and older, who are victims of domestic or sexual abuse. Domestic abuse in later life is not limited to intimate partner violence, but is defined as abuse perpetrated by someone with whom the victim has a relationship in which there is an expectation of trust. It could be a family member, friend, caregiver, or other trusted individual.

The State Section lists tribal and state domestic and sexual violence coalitions who have created specialized projects that focus on abuse in later life.
