Domestic violence and abuse occurs when an individual in marriage or an intimate relationship dominates and controls the other partner. The essence of being a union whether it is marriage or a relationship that would eventually lead to marriage is to support each other regardless of the situation.
However, due to different social factors and the way of life, partners often dominate over others in relationships and marriages. Domestic violence and abuse among comes as a result of the male partner dominating over their female counterparts. The male partner doesn’t play fair to the agreement and requirements of the union. In addition, the abuser may act by threatening, hurting their partner, or hurting the people who are around or support the female partner.
Domestic violence is an issue that affects all societies across the world. Whether it is physical or emotional, there are systematic effects that are felt by the victim family. The essence of family is for people to stay together in peace and support each other regardless of the situation at hand. However, cases of domestic violence are bound to happen when there are consistent disagreements between the individual family members. The main challenge of the issue of domestic violence and abusive men who are the major perpetrators is that it is often overlooked, denied, or excused, yet it can happen to anyone. More specifically, if the issue is psychological rather than physical, most people might not be keen on the damaging effects it may have to the individual families. The ability to notice and acknowledge the simple signs and effects of an abusive relationship is considered as the first step to ending it.
General worldwide facts and figures:
Based on the National Domestic Violence Hotline website, it is indicated that an average of 24 people in each nation across the world are victims of domestic violence. The various cases of domestic violence reported include physical violence, stalking by the male intimate partner; rape which is considered as unwilling sexual advances by the male partner, and any other forms of discrimination. In the United States of America, an approximate of 12 million women are vulnerable to cases of domestic violence on an annual basis(Bishop, 2016). From the domestic perspective, one can tell that there are many underlying issues of violence against the female partner in intimate relationships or marriages that may not be visible to the outside world. The domestic setting of such kind of relationships does not offer enough room for public intervention at an early stage in order to come up with a viable solution to the situation at hand. Most women may not be free to expose their private love life with the external world to come up with solutions that might help address the issues at hand. Late intervention for this case may come when the long term effects of domestic violence to the victims have already been established, making it difficult to restore the respect and functionality of the previous relationship(“Physicians and Domestic Violence: Challenges for Prevention,” 2018).
From the same National Domestic Violence website, an approximate of 3 in 10 women, which is 29% of the population in the US, as a case study, experience cases of physical violence, rape, and stalking by their male counterparts in intimate relationships or marriages. The same statistics show that 15% of women in the United States of America are reported with injuries that come as a result of domestic violence from their male counterparts(Bishop, 2016). In addition, half of the population of women in the United States have experienced issues of physiological aggression from their male counterparts in intimate relationships or already established marriages.
