Yes. Violence, by definition, requires physical force

It's possible to define it like that, but it's definitely not universally the case and seems overly restrictive. Just one example from the WHO's World report on violence and health:

Violence at work involves not only physical but also psychological behaviour. Many workers are subjected to bullying, sexual harassment, threats, intimidation and other forms of psychological violence.
