Nearly 20 women are abused every minute in the US says Ncadv.org. Abuse is a problem and the fact that it's an awkward topic for society to talk about is adding to the problem. Abuse isn't just physical it can be mental and emotional too. Women, moms, kids stuck in abusive relationships that they don't have to stay in. Abuse comes with a lot more than just bruises and hurt feeling not only does this person now have major trauma but the emotional scars that are left to cause mental problems. This needs to stop, the numbers of abuse victims is just to high.

It comes off as a weird or scary topic, but its not its serious. According to the U.S department of justice an article from 1993-1999 about Intimate partner violence states that 94% of girls ages 16-19 are abused in relationships and the same for 70% of

I'm sorry but it's a fact, four thousand women die each year from male abuse compared to 1500 men who died from women abuse. In an article written by Dr.Jekyll who studies why men are more abusive than women states that in a man's head he goes through three stages in an abuse cycle. "Phase 1: Tension building (In this phase there is usually tension building from the batterer/abuser and there is usually an argument) - Phase 2: Explosion (this is where the assault happens) - Phase 3: Honeymoon Phase (this is where the batterer/abuser apologizes for his behavior buying the victim gifts or flowers) " Even after stage 3 it's not done, soon enough stage one starts again. The thought process of a man is different in situations like this. They very quickly learn how to break a women down, become very manipulative, and become controlling. Sadly their ability to wrap their mind around this concept is amazing and pretty soon this way of living becomes normal to them and they can't figure out how to

    Many women are trapped in abusive relationships. Leslie Morgan Steiner, the author of Crazy Love, calls it “a physical and psychological trap disguised as love.” In her Ted Talk, she points out questions that most people don’t comprehend and always ask: “Why does she stay [in abusive relationships]? Why doesn’t she just leave ?” However, most people do not realize the reality of this problem is much more complicated.…

    In fact, three of four women in the study who responded that they had been raped or assaulted as adults said the perpetrator was a current or former husband, a cohabiting partner or a date” (433). These assaults happen all the time and no can stop them because most women are too afraid to report what is happening so they just let it continue. Women should be able to protect themselves or leave once they are feel unsafe, but most men won’t let them leave and they would usually continue the abuse leaving these women defenseless. However, even though there are men who violently abuse their girlfriends/wife, there are men who are not the attackers but he victims as well. There are people who do believe that men are the only ones who do the abusing but they don’t think that men can be abuse by women just because they are men.…

    This abuse doesn’t only take a psychical toll on a person, but an emotional one as well. It is often hard for a women to leave her partner in that situation because there is a cycle that occurs and that cycle has what is called the “honeymoon phase” where the abusive partner feels bad about what they have done and tries to make up for it. The partner then forgives them and the cycle repeats itself all over again (Mallicoat, 135-136). My solution to this would be for women to be educated more on domestic/intimate partner abuse and know what to do and where to go when it starts happening. Another thing that would help this is if the children who witness the abuse can reach out to authorities and even maybe have a safe place they can go…

    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.…

    Women who abuse men are not much different than their male who abuse women. Men can be hit, kicked, punched, pushed, or bitten by women abusers. Women also use weapons such as knives, guns, or other objects just as men do. Abused men are not necessarily smaller or physically weaker than the women who abuse them. Abused men often do not use their greater size or strength to hurt their abusive partners even when they are being hurt.…

    Congress has passed two main laws that relate to domestic abuse. These two laws are The Violence Against Women Act and The Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (“Violence Against Women” 1).
