North American Women Research Paper
For my research essay, I would like to discuss the violence that North American women often go through at least once in their lifetime. Oftentimes they go without reporting because they feel like no one will listen to them, or reach out to help them. Some victims choose to reach out for help, but are often silenced. This leads to repercussions which affect the victims the most in the end. Throughout, I will be outlining a possible plan of action on how we can stop this from happening, or at least minimize the occurrence of violence. These women need more support than is being given to them and I believe with feminism that we can make a difference. With everyone’s help, we can give these women a reason to fight for control in their lives and their freedom.
Tentative Thesis: Throughout North America, women are often exposed to violent situations with no way out. This leads the victims into a repercussion affect, which hurts women the most in the end.

But in the past few years, violence has become a severe problem, with more cases popping up. Even with these laws in place, problems such as rape, assault, homicide, and abuse; they still exist. This article explains possible reasons to why these horrific things occur, but that still does not make it okay. Victims are the ones who suffer medical, behavioral, and psychological consequences in the end; not the assailant. The article then goes on to explain many different types of violence that women are put through, whether it be at home, work, or even in public. Oftentimes it goes unreported; and if it is reported, the case is just thrown aside like it means nothing to law
