Module one focused on domestic violence and understanding the basics, which include the dynamics and common tactics that characterize domestic violence, impact on both the individual and society, and solutions to domestic violence. The website was easily accessible, and the information provided about the topic of domestic violence was both useful and interesting. Several statistics were given throughout the module that helped get across the seriousness of domestic violence. For example, one in four women are victims of domestic abuse within their lifetime. That statistic alone expresses how common domestic violence is within society.

Within the last few years, there has been an rise in awareness of the importance of child abuse and negligence, spouse/partner mistreatment, and elder cruelty not only as serious societal problems but also as crimes. The PEACE Domestic Violence Agency was step up to help individuals break through the barriers.

Domestic Violence is a critical issue negatively impacting women in the world today. There has to be something done to prevent this type of abuse from happening. The results of my research revealed that there are many victims that do not know the type of help that is available and there needs to be major improvement in the way domestic violence cases are handled. Based on my findings, awareness and prevention programs should be implemented in every state in order prevent this type of abuse from happening over and over. Also, each program must be monitored to ensure they are following the proper guidelines in order to better serve the victims and their families.

It has been recorded that approximately “2,000,000 injuries, and 1,300 deaths are caused each year as a result of domestic violence” (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). This harm to and loss of life is due to the negligence of all Americans, in regards to the monitoring and managing of domestic violence in the United States. In order to combat the blatant disregard for domestic violence victims, Americans must support, aid, and assist those who fall victim to this crime, as well as educate those who are oblivious to the matter at hand. These actions will be essential in the eradication of domestic violence, as well as the preservation of the health and overall safety of all American people.

Intimate partner violence can affect many individuals who are victims of abuse, and those who witness the abuse, especially children. No individual should fall victim of physical, psychological, emotional, and sexual abuse from a current or former partner. On account of intimate partner violence, there should be awareness to others that things need to be done to put an end to abuse caused to women. The act of bringing awareness is needed, because it would “target community attitudes about IPV, increase opportunities for victim assistance through direct and indirect services, and increase accountability for perpetrators” (Klevens, Baker, Shelly, & Ingram, 2008, pg. 347). Women who are victims of intimate partner violence deserve all the help

Even though most acts of domestic violence are not seen, the United States Department of Justice reports that they make up 21% of violent crimes (Truman). This issue is nothing to take lightly just because it is not presented as much as other crimes. The Salvation Army believe so too, which is why they created this ad that incorporates a viral “controversy” with the actual controversy of domestic violence. They are subliminally sending the message that although, this dress caused commotion it was not important. What is important is that women are getting abused daily without a blink of an eye.

Towards the east side of the San Francisco City has plenty of associations that put their heart into assisting victims of domestic violence. If I were Tania’s therapist, I would recommended her to La Casa de las Madres even though this is just one of many associations in the area. Asian’s Women’s Shelter and Community United Against Violence are also around, which can be alternative options for Tania if La Casa de las Madres doesn’t work out for her. There are other shelters nearby if immediate housing is needed. I recommend La Casa de las Madres since each day throughout the whole year, they answer calls for victims of all ages who need help from domestic violence. They provide support services, such as counseling as the tools to help survivors transform their lives. They also aim to prohibit inevitable brutality by informing the public and re-illustrating general impression about domestic violence. Not only does La Casa de las Madres works with females but also children and teenagers who are affected by the violence that they have separate phone lines for each groups.

At least 1 in every 4 women and 1 in every 9 men have been beaten, coerced into sex or otherwise abused in their lifetime. Most often the abuser is one of their own family. Domestic violence is a problem that somehow affects every one of us in this room at some time and is actually the leading cause of injury to women -- more than car accidents, muggings and rapes combined.

Sexual harassment in a healthcare workplace is a very important topic to discuss even though it is often swept under the rug. Even with all law, literature and discussions on sexual harassment, people still remain confused about what exactly constitutes sexual harassment. Therefore knowing what sexual harassment entails and looks like is a crucial step in the prevention of it from taking place.
