Domestic abuse is a startling issue in today’s society, and there are many different forms of it. Domestic abuse is defined as “the willful intimidation, physical assault, battery, sexual assault, and/or other abusive behavior as part of a systematic pattern of power and control perpetrated by one intimate partner against another” [1].

One of the themes Sandra Cisneros writes about in The House on Mango Street is gender inequality. In the story about Sally in the chapter titled “Linoleum Roses”, Cisneros describes an example of how the women in the book are treated terribly by men. Sally’s was a victim of a dominating and controlling husband. According to Sally “he won’t let her talk on the phone” (Cisneros, 2009, pg. 101). She goes on to say that “he doesn’t let her look out the window” (Cisneros, 2009, p. 101). These two sentences give insight on Sally’s manipulation by her husband. He feels he has the right to tell her what she can and cannot do because she is his wife and that she must obey him. Oppressed by her husband’s behavior, she is even “afraid to go outside without

Domestic violence is not a label that can be boxed and defined. No, it is emotions of pain, fear, shock, confusion, and most surprising, love. It is difficult for many to comprehend if not brought up within a violent home; the true, passionate emotions that fall as a burden upon the victims, who often stay quiet. What brings the traumatic pain to domestic violence is that a person who is supposed to cherish and love another, ends up creating fear and panic when even mentioned. Domestic violence, which is indeed a form of abuse, is an issue that needs to be handled with delicate, yet able coherence. Within the society of America, the fight against domestic violence needs to be accepted instead of ignored. In doing so, there are many questions

“Every year in the United States there are over 3 million incidents of domestic violence. That means that every nine seconds a women is beaten by her domestic partner” (Findeley). There are many women that stay silent when being abuse by their partners. The consequences of staying quiet when obtaining abuse can be dangerous and can also lead to death. Many women do not recognize the importance of the fact that there is in speaking out if they are being abuse by their partner. No woman should take domestic abuse by their partners. Every woman deserves a healthy relationship; A healthy relationship involves trust, respect, and consideration for the other person. Domestic abuse has gotten worse during the past years and is still rising up. One can see that domestic abuse can occur everywhere. Domestic abuse is considered a crime and woman should not keep silent when being abuse.

The resource is to allow male clients to discreetly access contact numbers for services which can assist them when they are subject to domestic abuse. Straus (2004) argues that domestic abuse where males are the victims are becoming a major issue in terms of public health and require interventions in place which allow male clients to access services in order to have the courage to leave abusive relationships. This highlights the need for Health Visitors to be aware of the prevalence of domestic abuse in males in order to meet to their needs and support the victims.

People who are married are not the only ones that may become victims of domestic violence.

The first step in fixing any problem is to admit that there is one. In order for a person with a mental illness, in this case the abuser, to get help it is important that they know they have a problem. Providing clinical or monetary assistance should help them begin to recovery enough to be able to function within a family dynamic without the threat of violence. They will need guidance in order to set them on the path

There are many thing that have been proposed as a solution that work. However, there still can be improvements on those solutions because the solution does not solve all the problems that the victims of domestic abuse gained from their abusive relationship. The Domestic Abuse Hotline has been really working for victims of domestic abuse. There are many reasons why. One of the reasons why is because it is open 24 hours a day. It has also had huge success over the last 20 year. “The Hotline and loveisrespect have answered more than 4 million calls, chats and texts from people seeking help around issues of domestic violence and dating abuse”(2016 Impact Report). Also loveisrespect, a project of The Hotline, has been successful too. Just like the Hotline it is also free and confidential. Is has “helps millions of teens and 20-somethings learn about healthy relationships and dating violence”(2016 Impact Report) this shows that the loveisrespect and domestic abuse hotline has been highly successful.

Domestic violence is an important issue because many believe that it’s only a male-to-female action but it’s also female-to-male abuse. In addition, many assume that domestic violence is only a physical act but there are other forms of abuse such as psychological, sexual, financial and emotional. John Hamel, a licensed clinical social worker and editor of the journal Partner Abuse said, “A lot of people don’t see domestic violence in the home as a crime, so they tend to downplay it.” Because many follow this ideology women would be brutally beaten. In addition, men are seen as the head of the household because he provides the basic needs for his family, putting him in

The first stanza enables readers at first to think about a simple interaction between Tommy and his mother. The writer uses gentle words like “dances” (2) at first may bring bright smiles and happiness following the relationship between the mother and her son to the reader. These words cast a sense of happiness and the playing time. However, the very next line “throws him across the room” (5) depicts the horror story that the child must bear from his mother. Sexton has used the connotations such as “Red Roses” (4) to mean bruises and cuts that Tommy must have to while her mother abuses him by throwing him across the wall and shout at him. Here dancing means punishment Tommy must face for being a bad boy. All the music and sound his mother is playing inside the room reduce the noise produced when throwing Tommy on the wall.

Find different shelter. Try to find somewhere where your abuser can't find you. A good

Domestic abuse is a very serious offense, and it needs to be stopped. It is not only a legal offense, but it is a humane offense. Abuse is wrong and lead to very serious consequences for the abuser and the abusee. Relationships are very important and are a wonderful part of life, but they can crumble when tension and strain are not properly taken care of. This can lead to abuse, and once abuse starts it can be difficult to stop. This is why prevention needs to be improved and strengthened. In order to strengthen domestic abuse prevention there needs to be more focus on counseling, classes, and programs.

The problem I am addressing in my paper is the unawareness of domestic abuse and the prevalence of intimate partner violence.
