Persuasive Essay On Domestic Violence

This behavior is considered to be abusive because it negatively affects the victim and the people around them like other family members, friends, co-workers, etc. Due to gender rules in society, women are typically seen as weak and submissive and a majority of the time they tend to be the main victims when it comes to domestic violence. Statistics shows that this crime kills about “one-quarter of all American women” (Life at Home, 365) a year while millions of other women suffer at the hands of their partner. With time domestic violence has morphed into five main categories which include physical, verbal, financial, sexual and psychological or emotional abuse. That includes anything that is meant to harm, threaten, frighten, manipulate, humiliate, intimidate, or falsely accuse the victim. It takes place all over the world and is evident in every social class. It can happen to anyone regardless of their race, gender, age, sexual orientation, or beliefs. Domestic violence is most common with adults, especially those who are married yet they are certainly not the only ones to experience domestic abuse. Research shows that when children witness domestic violence between their parents, boys are more likely than girls to abuse their future intimate partners, while girls who normally witness domestic violence are more likely to be the victims as adults in future relationships (Weebly.com).

Illegal, Latina immigrant women experiencing domestic violence are highly unlikely to report this violence to law enforcement and are unable take legal action against their husbands. These women live in constant fear of being discovered and deported and consequently are unlikely to view law enforcement as a helpful resource. Immigrant women are more likely experience domestic violence due to a number of factors. Because of their illegal status, these women are more likely to live in poverty which, according to Bergen, means that they are more likely to experience male to female interpersonal violence (Bergen 2005). High in-home stress coupled with the constant fear of being discovered and deported also leads to a higher likelihood of violence (Barnett, Miller-Perrin, Perrin, 2011). Even if these women want to leave their home and take action against their husbands, most are economically dependent on their partners. While the United States has the Violence Against Women Act, or VAWA, which can aid illegal immigrants experiencing domestic violence in obtaining a visa, the fear of deportation keeps many women from seeking aid from social services and law enforcement. The lack of resources and fear ultimately allows domestic violence to perpetuate amidst an already vulnerable, invisible population.

Domestic violence is abuse caused by family which included physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, economical abuse, psychological abuse, threats, stalking and cyberstalking. It is often referred to the number one health concern of the United States of America and Texas being the number one with the most cases. However, in most cases, the victim is not aware of their abuse because of their lack of knowledge to the situation and is often left untaken care of for long periods of time. In addition to Texas being first, illegal immigrants are on top of the chart as well and they’re too being untaken care of because of their fear of deportation to their origin of country. Children all over the world aren't being educated with the correct

Did you know that every 9 seconds a women is being beaten or assaulted?

Another aspect that has a huge influence in women's decisions and does not let them feel free to call the police, is their families' opinion. The divorce is not really allowed; it is still a taboo in Latin's families. They think that if you marry someone, this marriage must last forever. Even though the man hits you, hits your kids, or uses drugs, your responsibility as a wife is to be with him, after all "he is your husband and there is nothing you can do to change that." The language barrier is also an obstacle for most of the women that suffer domestic violence in the United States. Most of Latina women do not speak English and when they decide to call the police for help, they can not explain what is going on. Therefore, the police are not able to do anything to the husband because they do not really know what the problem is. Also, the man usually threatens the wife with things such as to call immigration, come after her when he gets out of prison and kill her, or stop the legalization papers for her and their children. In addition, Latina women grow up with the thought that a women is nothing without a man; for this reason, they are afraid to be by themselves. The women do not feel able to support their family without a man besides them. In the Latin culture, the man has exclusive control over all money and household financial matters, the woman is not allowed in the decision-making process at home. Because of this, women do

There are many topics that people do not like to talk about, topics that cause discomfort or are seen as taboo. However, as much as people wish to not talk about it, it doesn't mean the topic doesn't exist. Domestic violence is one of the worst things committed on a daily basis, yet is only seen behind closed doors. In the public service announcement against domestic violence, “It Rarely Stops” presented by the National Domestic Violence Hotline, the organization’s use of pathos is more clearly established than ethos or logos. The ad is much less than informative than others, but it sends a clear message and provides a solution to the problem that is abusive relationships.

Imagine beginning your day with a comfortable pair of sweatpants matched with a loose fitted t-shirt. It is just like every other day, you go to school, see your friends, and enjoy your day. There is just one thing different, you take a ride with a male friend. You are not afraid, nothing could happen to you, you are perfectly safe. The next thing you know he’s on top of you, forcing himself onto and into you. This type of behavior is known as sexual assault, which is defined as “any type of sexual contact or behavior that occurs without the explicit consent of the recipient” (Department of Justice). Sexual assault has become an increasing issue in the world according to the Huffington Post, “2,780,000 (is) the estimated number of men who have experienced an attempted or completed rape since 1998” (Alanna Vagianos). Some believe that the number of sexual assault is increasing due to the population growing, others believe that sexual assault cases increasing is a result of the increase in reports in general. Due to the increase in mental issues among millennials, an increase in crime such as sexual assault has become a larger issue, heavily affecting the way society is balanced.

There are various reasons a woman may accept or put up with the abuse received while in an intimate relationship. The first is reason is fear. Fear, due to lack of personal power, ensnares battered woman and brings rise to immediate concerns of greater injury or possibly death by presenting their male partner with opposing views, such as divorce or police intervention. Continuing on in the past it was deemed acceptable, due to cultural norms, for males to physically chastise their partner. The females often justified these actions, like abuse, with hopes for reform of their male counterparts or live with the abusiveness because of love and the cultural responsibility that the woman should “weather the storm” as it were and keep the relationship

While women are most affected by domestic violence, Muslim-American communities are highest at risk. “Ten percent of muslin women are victims of domestic violence (including everything from hitting to incest) each year, another study suggests the number is closer to twenty percent” (Finigan 2011). This number doesn’t include verbal and mental abuse; therefore the percent should be significantly higher. The Muslim-American women are discouraged to report domestic abuse because of cultural difficulties. Since these women don’t report their abuse they are less likely to get help than any other culture. Some of these difficulties include language which is a problem when trying to communicate with law enforcement. This problem could cause the story to not be straight which would lead to the case never being given justice. Language barriers could cause confusion within the women, they may not understand our legal system and why their husband or boyfriend is being taken away from them. These women also fear deportation. If they go to law enforcement while they are an illegal alien they will not have a chance to receive justice, instead they will be shipped back to where they came from. In this culture as well as others the women may not think what is happening to them is really a problem. They were taught to be supportive of their husband and do exactly as he says to do. They may look

According to the United Nations Children’s Fund, also known as UNICEF, one in ten women worldwide have experienced sexual violence at some point in their lives. Under President Donald Trump and his administration, women were supposed to be invested in and empowered according to his campaign. “We want every daughter in America to grow up in a country where she can believe in herself, believe in her future, and follow her heart and realize her dreams,” Trump has said. However, the administration under President Donald Trump has been doing quite the opposite by attacking women’s reproductive and legal rights, ending health benefits, and weakening protections against gender based violence.

In a world glutted with selfish, evil, and vainglorious beings, vengeance has been present since the beginning of mankind. The desire for retaliation has been naturally integrated into the human mind to “right the wrongs” and to “get even”. Violence is often caused by one’s desire to take revenge on another, and an alternative outlet to let out aggression is of paramount importance in order to create a peaceful society.

The topic I chose to research is Domestic Violence. The reason why I chose this top is because something that happen around the world is sad and is it is interesting. For example, many children are homeless because of domestic violence. In addition, I think we have to try help that people how past in a situation like that. Furthermore, it is life changing. And finally,it is good to know about this.

These program help to prevent domestic violence in the early stages through education that trains people to be able to identify warning signs of abuse, skills to develop healthy relationships, and education about services available to the victims.
