Radical feminists help explain why abuse patterns are concentrated around women and why they are more likely to be victims of abuse by men. Kate Millett and Shulamith Firestone argue that all societies have been founded on patriarchy; men are seen as the oppressors and exploiters of women, for radical feminists widespread domestic violence is inevitable in a patriarchal society and serves to preserve the power men have over women, they see male dominance over institutions as the reason police and courts are reluctant to deal with cases of domestic violence efficiently. To explain why most domestic violence is committed by men radical feminists argue that…

The consequences of IPV involve intimate partners injuring their partner with violence being against them. For example, one in five women killed or severely injured by an intimate partner had no warning: the fatal or life-threatening incident was the first physical violence they had experienced from their partner. A woman 's attempt to leave an abuser was the precipitating factor in 45 percent of the murders of women by their intimate partners (Wallace & Roberson, 2009). Another example would be alcohol abuse. Even though alcohol is not the origin of violence alongside women, an important relationship exists between a male performer problem drinking and violence against intimate female partners. Brutal drinking problems increase the risk for lethal and aggressive discrimination of women in intimate partner relationships. Studies show that more than two-thirds of the offenders who commit or challenge homicide used alcohol, drugs, or both during the incident. Women who have experienced serious abuse face overwhelming mental and emotional…
Domestic violence is “a pattern of behavior used to establish power and control over another person through fear and intimidation, often including the threat or use of violence,” according to Safe Horizon (SH, 2015). Domestic violence can occur in many different relationships, such as parent-child relationships, dating couples relationships, or even sibling relationships. The psychological consequences of domestic violence are overlooked, most of the time, by people with the speculation that the victim can always just leave their attackers. Only about half of the cases of domestic violence are actually reported to authorities, according to the Feminist Majority Foundation (FMH, 2014). Battered…

This thesis can be an effective one fist because is a global problem that touch everyone in a different way. There’s a lot of information out there I can use to add more information to my thesis or to make it better.

What hurts more is to see children suffering domestic violence, but I need to be careful how I show that because it can hurt people’s feelings. Logos, reasoning with other people sometimes it’s not easy and if I try to reasoning about domestic violence, it’s going to be more hard because for some people domestic violence is still a taboo I need to reach them by images of the consequences of violence perhaps informative videos and Use the high statistics we have in all the country.

Domestic violence is the verbal, mental, emotional, and/or physical abuse of one person by someone the person is in an intimate relationship. It is because the relationship is intimate that domestic violence can be difficult to detect as well as difficult to address. Often people are embarrassed and ashamed to seek help with domestic violence. Domestic violence not only affects the victim but also the quality of life in the community the victim resides. For that reason, it is important to have resources and services available for domestic violence victims seeking help. Without available resources and services victims are likely to stay in an abusive situation ultimately resulting in death.…

Abused women develop a post-traumatic stress which includes a variety of symptoms such as depression, panic attacks, and anxiety plus more. 31 percent of women don’t seek help until the third year of abuse.…
Intersectionality is a significant concept that is believed to be affecting every aspect of life. The correlation between different aspects, and the product of their effects is based on the idea of intersectionality. In simple words, intersectionality is where two or more points intersect. This point, this crest that is formed by the interaction of different views, is what the Crenshaws looking at. In her research of “almost routine violence that shapes their (women) lives” (Crenshaw, p533), she is trying to find the correlation between different aspects in the society at that time. Even though the domestic violence was recognized as a “broad-scale system of domination that affects women as a class” (Crenshaw, p533), it is not self creating.…
