Domestic Abuse And Its Effects On People 's Health

Although we lost Ellen Pence, a woman who changed how domestic violence is addressed, in 2012, there are many lives that are being saved to this day because of her work. Ellen Pence found her calling in 1977 when she began working for the Minneapolis Housing Authority that helped individuals relocate with housing complications (StarTribune, 2010). It was then that she immersed herself through domestic violence cases and set the standard for addressing these cases. Ellen Pence is especially known for establishing the Duluth Program, a program that address batterers in the court systems, and Praxis Training, which are training on addressing domestic violence for law enforcement, advocates, community agencies, and institutions. Pence’s 35 years of service change the way domestic violence cases were handled, educated key players in domestic violence cases, and showed the world what it was like to be a victim of domestic abuse. Without her efforts, many individuals in power addressing these cases would be lost and those to who are victims would not be understood as they are today.

Any kind of abuse can lead to serious physical or mental health problems, including depression, anxiety, pain into private area and changes gastrointestinal disorder.

We all know by now that domestic violence, also known as intimate partner violence, not only

Domestic violence as a public health problem is studied from an epidemiological perspective. Epidemiology is the core of public health, providing insight into the causes, prevalence, and control of disease in populations. Partner abuse is defined, risk factors, prevalence, and consequences are addressed from both the civilian and military perspectives as it relates to the batterer, spouse, and children. Most of what is known about domestic violence from a scientific perspective are through a civilian lens. A growing body of research on partner abuse in the military is emerging with most studies conducted on the Army. The article reports on the results of an in-depth study of the epidemiology of partner abuse in all branches of the military. Rates of violence are higher in military populations than is civilian populations. Data further suggests that more severe forms of abuse occur in military families. Evidence-based prevention and intervention approaches were recommended with a focus on real and perceived barriers to treatment.

Public health programs became useful to women. The program taught women how to love themselves and do not let people put them down. Women have learned a lot of strategies to over come domestic violence among their pierce. Women also have institutional support when it comes to domestic violence. Domestic violence programs have saved many lives.

I chose to do the domestic survivors subculture I feel as if it was a great topic to focus on its going to reveal a lot of emotion. Domestic violence can happen to anyone. Domestic violence sometimes called battering is against the law. At first glance, it is hard to imagine why a victim of domestic violence would voluntarily remain in the relationship with the abuser. As you may know domestic violence doesn’t always start off as violence it starts off as in the form of love. The abuser feels as if they love the person so much that it hurts. That the abuse they inflict on the person they love is because they love and care about them. Many victims feel as if no one will believe them. There has been so many cases that have gone unanswered because no one really knows what goes on. The person being abused hides what the abuser does because they think it is something they did wrong or they think the person loves them. Domestic abuse comes in different forms it can be verbal, physical, or sexual. Domestic abuse leaves psychological scars from anxiety due to living in ongoing danger. In my essay you will get to know a lot of women that have survived domestic abuse and their stories.

The first question that people always ask in the context of domestic abuse is “why didn’t [s]he just leave?” To an outside observer, it seems obvious that the easiest solution to ending the domestic abuse is to exit the relationship. But the truth is that the dynamics and intricacies of the relationship may make it extremely difficult, and oftentimes dangerous, for the victim to leave his or her abuser. An abusive relationship is marked by a pattern of abuse and control over the victim by the abuser. Although physical abuse is the most obvious sign of abuse, abuse is not limited to physical manifestations and can assume mental or economic forms (Power and control wheel, 1984). For example, an abuser can use economic abuse in the form of preventing

This report will offer a review of Domestic Violence in Aotearoa/New Zealand. The ways in which this abuse occurs will be included as well as theoretical frameworks to aid in understanding the extent of this social problem. A review was issued by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2013. In this review it was found that violence against women affected more than one third of women worldwide. Information was gathered internationally and due to the findings, it was concluded that this was “a global public health problem of epidemic proportions, requiring urgent action” (WHO, 2013,p3).

Domestic abuses are not looking to lose control, domestic abuses purposing trying to control another person using words or physical straight to gain control. If a child grows up watching their father, or any one they look up to abuse their parents, or someone they love it is most likely they are going to grow up abusing their wife and child. Not just that but growing up they will face emotional problems, including psychosomatic disordered, stuttering, anxiety and fears, sleep disruption, excessive crying and lashing out at school, some children even start to bully. Many people think domestic violence is uncommon and it hardly ever exists anymore. (Katie

People usually wonder how the other half of the world lives. The video, “Scene it,” initially appeared to seem as a harmless video. A viewer initially may expect and anticipate it to be merely an average, typical day of someone's life. However, the video results to take an unexpected turn. The woman in this video goes home from having a joyful and delightful day just to encounter domestic violence given to her by her significant other (Citation). It is devastating to witness such an event. Any type of domestic violence or abuse should not be tolerated or endured.

Many women are suffering from domestic violence every day, from physical, emotional, and even verbal abuse. Violence towards women is very important because it can cause a huge impact on women’s health and can even get as serious as death. So many women are getting some form of abuse and aren’t aware of how serious it can be. The problem that I will be discussing is how domestic violence affects women health.

Domestic violence is a subject that is known about, but most often left behind. At times victims of domestic violence are not even aware that they indeed are victims. It is also common that when one does know about domestic violence, most often it is a woman that is the victim. That is not the case; there are other populations that are effected as well. When people are victims of such acts, they are more likely to develop some type of disorder as well as other issues. Although victims are getting abused, these cases are not often reported but as time goes by there are more people and victims speaking up and making reports.

I want you to close your eyes and imagine being choked, slapped, humiliated or beat beyond recognition. Do you feel the intense pain? Can you feel the physical and mental pain associated with this trauma? Now I want you to imagine that the person doing all these things to you was a person that was supposed to love you. Imagine that it is a person that should be your protector and defender, but instead is your own personal nightmare. Do you see it? Can you vision them? What you imagined was domestic violence.

Domestic Violence, as is explained on the online journal of issue in Nursing by Claire Burke Draucker, is one of the first concerned worldwide; it does not only cause damages physically but mostly mentally. Many of this damage and violence may go unreported because the victim may be scare of the abuser and not reported to the police at all. It’s classified into three different categories, Spouse Partner Abuse, Child Abuse, and elder abuse. First, spouse or partner abuse is considered: “intimate partner abuse includes abuse by current or former spouses or romantic or co- habituating partners” (Claire Burke Draucker, 2015, p 2). Health consequences related to this may include from mayor to minor injuries like bruises or factures. Some stress related consequences like headache and eating disorder. Sexual violence may result into urinary tract infections, sexual dysfunction, and pelvic pain. Also, mental effects include depression, substance abuse, and suicidality. Second, child abuse is “non-accidental physical injury that results in harm or substantial risk of harm; some statutes specify the types of acts or overt consequences that constitute to physical abuse” (Claire Burke Draucker, 2015, p 4). Laws related to child abuse differ by state. Child abuse includes emotional abuse such as verbal assaults; physical abuse include body assaults that cause a risk for any kind of damage; and sexual abuse considered any sexual act between underage person and an adult. Lastly, elder

“Domestic violence can happen to anyone regardless of race, age, sexual orientation, religion, or gender.”( "Domestic Violence." U.S.) While signs of physical abuse can be seen if the victim has visible bruises, there are other forms of domestic violence that are often missed or overlooked. Victims often live in fear and sadly many times, they fear the person that they love. It has been proven that at least three women are killed a day by their significant other in forms of domestic violence, in most cases, a male is their “better half.” (Catalano), if that does not tell you something then I will.
