Hurt, harm, and abuse can be caused by individuals, families, collectives, or organisations against other individuals, families, collectives, or organisations. Hurt is often unavoidable and usually unintentional incidents. Harm is usually avoidable with planning, and can be incidents or patterns that cause personal, emotional, or economic damage that needs to be repaired to restore wellbeing. Abuse is usually intentional (even if through lack of consideration), and involves a pattern of strategic leveraging of harm against others for personal benefit or to control them. Abuse causes long-lasting and serious economic, psychological, and social damage. (- We Name It So We Can Repair It)
