Domestic violence

Domestic violence is violent or aggressive behavior usually involving the violent abuse of a spouse or partner. Domestic violence is mostly caused by drugs, depression or when a partner feels the need to control and dominate the other. The partner that wants to be controlling only abuses maybe because of low self esteem, or extreme jealousy. I'ts mostly the men to abuse the women because some men believe that they have the right to control women and that women are not equal to men.
 


well, they're WRONG because both men and women are equal. Men need women just as much as women need men. If it was not for women we wouldn't be here, woman deliver babies. Men make babies. The power that the men think they have (not all men) takes the form of emotional, physical or sexual abuse. It is shown that domestic violent abusers learn violent behavior from their family, people in their community and other influences growing up. They may have seen violence or been a victim. This is not right because children who witness violence may believe that violence is a reasonable way to solve a situation between people.  Boys who see their dad violating their mom learn that women are not to be valued or respected are more likely to abuse women when they grow up. Not just men abuse women, girls who also witness violence will grow up and take advantage of their husbands.


Sometimes domestic violence can lead to death, suicide, or murder. The partner may be too high or drunk to control them self, and something bad happens, the partner goes too far.  And the next day the partner does not remember a thing. Here are some ways to prevent domestic violence.

1. Do not let any kids near violence or abusive parents, or it will continue and when they get older it will influence them to do it.

2. Make serious consequences for domestic violence, so they learn their lesson and show kids what would happen to them if they do grow up to be abusive.

3. Help woman and men to stand up for themselves.

4. Be an example to kids and your community.

5.  Tell someone.
