Millions
of women just like you are also dealing with violence at home.
Although it is usually hidden, this kind of abuse is very common
and affects people from many different walk of life - school teachers,
celebrities, bankers, carpenters, bus drivers, etc. Nothing you
say or do causes your husband or boyfriend to act violently toward
you, and it is impossible for you to prevent his attacks by being
the perfect wife or girlfriend. Some men think that using violence
is the best way to sole problems, and that it's okay to hit a
woman. But no one has the right to physically harm you. That kind
of behavior is against the law.
Domestic Violence
does not go away on its own. It tends to get worse and become
more frequent with time, and is often harmful to our children
as well.
You do not have to take the abuse - see what you can do to protect
yourself. |
