According to Domestic Violence One in three women in the U.S. are being physically abused each year. Domestic violence occurs at all levels of society, regardless of social, economic, racial or cultural background. Abusers may feel this need to control their partner because of low self-esteem, extreme jealousy, difficulties in regulating anger and other strong emotions, or when they feel inferior to the other partner.
When we discuss domestic violence, it is often assumed that the victims are women. And the statistics are very shocking. The less told story is that a striking number of men are victims too, suffering physical, mental and sexual abuse in both heterosexual and same-sex relationships. Domestic violence is prevalent in the United States, but the extent of the problem cannot be quantified because so many cases go unreported. Approximately 2 million to 4 million women report being physically abused each year. Men also experience abuse, but women are much more likely to be victims.
One experience I’ve had in my life about my topic, had recently happened about two months ago. This issue is very critical important for other people in the world that are way different than me, because so we can find a way to help them and not make them go to this situation because it is something you do not want to go through. So for me it would be really helpful if there were more people out there that are willing to help out those people.
Domestic violence must be seen through the lens of a broader behavior pattern of global society in general, and of men in particular, the conversation society is having about domestic violence is important and much needed. Women’s issues matter because women matter, and the conversation needs to embrace a broader evaluation of how women are treated and mistreated everywhere. The world needs to embrace a global conversation about how women have been disempowered in most of the areas central to meaningful human experience. It needs a global conversation about how the empowerment of women is the central social challenge facing humanity today
