Domestic Violence

Fighting against domestic violence should be everybody's business.

Abuse and battery can be physical, emotional or psychological. They can take the form of domestic or intimate partner violence and also includes sexual assault and violence. There are many women who leave their abusive relationships while there are also many who stay in them.

Isn’t it funny how others look at the abused/battered woman and criticize her for staying without understanding all the underlying issues. I mean, no woman should be forced to stay in such situations but how does she balance all the odds working against her to grab that opportunity to free herself?

•If you are in an abusive relationship/marriage, what is keeping you there?

•If you know someone who is in such a relationship/marriage, why do you think she stays?

•Why do some women stay and others go? What is responsible for the difference in their decisions?

Let me see: She is uneducated and naive, right? She has low self esteem, right? Oh, no other man would want a battered woman, right?
