    “I closed my eyes and put my hands on my ears, so there is nothing more to describe but what I couldn’t block out: those yells from Russell, Fleur’s hoarse breath, so loud it filled me, her cry in the old language and our names repeated over and over among the words (Erdrich, 1988, p. 26). After beating a few men in a game of poker, character Fleur Pillager is physically and sexually assaulted. Violence against Native American women does not only exist on the written page. However, because of the lack of knowledge and inclusion of Native Americans in mainstream society, many are unaware of the struggles Natives encounter daily.

    However, even as lopsided the numbers are for domestic violence against men and women, the cases of men being victims are far too underreported, even for their lowered percentage, which, in truth, is far higher than the rumored ‘5%’. Large scale studies, done over several years by the National Institute of Justice and and the Center of Disease Control in America, Canada, and the UK state that, “Men were the victims of DV 38-50% of the time..” and “...835,000 men are the victims of domestic violence each year” (MenWeb). Even with the number of female victims being 1.5 million, 835,00 men a year is not very far behind and is tragic in itself. However, there are still almost no reports whatsoever against women acting out with serious violent toward their male partners.…

    History and Description of Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) Violence against women has been a societal crisis for decades in the United States and worldwide.

    Constraint On Women

    One leisure constraint that has had miniscule exposure, is the leisure constraint on women accredited to their body-image. The article “Body Image and Beliefs About Appearance: Constraints on the Leisure of College-Age and Middle-Age Women” successfully exploits the constraints college-age and middle-age women are dealing with in today’s society. I found this primarily evident in the quotation “participation in leisure activities themselves may be ‘constraining’,” which effectively describes the restriction women endure when dealing with self-image. This quotation as well deems crucial to understand as commonly; people do not associate leisure activities to be constraining in their own terms. This article beneficially uses the example of swimming…

    8 million couples that live together engage in some form of some domestic violence (Roleff, Tamara). This is a hard number to place in your head when thinking about the United States and the fact that this number can be bigger due to the fact that this number is a legitimate estimate on accounted domestic violence cases. Also it is a harsh reality that people are actually severely being beaten. 1.8 million women and 2 million male victims have been severely beaten (Roleff, Tamara). The sad part is that most victims will not press charges.…

    Sexual harassment in the workplace is a hazard encountered in the working place across the world. It reduces the quality of working life, jeopardizes the well-being of both working men and women, and imposes costs on firms and organizations.
