Domestic Violence
Definition of the Problem 1. Battering is a pattern of forcible control that one person exercises over another. 2. Battering is behavior that physically harms, arouses fear, prevents an individual from doing what s/he wishes or forces them to behave in ways they do not want. 3. Battering includes the use of physical and sexual violence, threats and intimidation, emotional abuse, and economic deprivation.

What is Abuse?
Abuse includes, but is not limited to the following:

Physical
Hitting, slapping, strangulation, etc. Kicking, burning, cutting Using or threatening to use a weapon Killing or maiming a pet Destroying home or belongings

Sexual
Rape Forced sex, forces sex with others Unwanted sexual practices Sexual abuse of victim's child

Emotional
Constant verbal harassment Humiliation Food or sleep deprivation Threats or accusations Isolation from family or friends

Economic
Not permitting victim to work Taking victim's money

Why Do The Abused Stay?

Many people often ask, "Why do women stay?" It is important to understand that each victim of abuse will have their own list of reasons as to why they remain in a violent relationship. Here is a list of common reasons a victim might stay. Fear of the batterer's violence: A victim's chances of being killed or seriously injured increase by 75% when leaving a violent relationship. Immobilization by psychological and /or physical trauma: Victims are often too injured or too frightened to tell or escape. Connection to the perpetrator through children: Some stay in the relationship because of their beliefs and for the sake of their children's need for a father, or because of the abuser's previous threats to flee with the children, to have the children taken away, or to harm them. Belief in cultural, family, or religious values: Support systems are not always supportive of a victim leaving the relationship or seeking help. Family or religious systems can actually pressure a victim into staying in the violent relationship. Continual hope and belief that the violence will end or he will change: Victims believe promises made by the batterer and want the violence to end, but not necessarily the relationship. Victims believe that they have the power to change the relationship for the better. Belief batterer will commit suicide or engage in self-destructive behavior: Many batterers threaten suicide or use any means necessary to place guilt and worry on the victim. Lack of funds: It costs approximately $1500 to set up household in the first month without housing assistance. Public housing lists are long, sometimes over six months, and many do not qualify. Lack of real alternatives for employment and financial assistance: Domestic violence is the number one cause of loss of employment to women in the United States.

To Stop Relationship Violence

You Must Help or Get Help
Society must commit to programs, funding and legislation dedicated to this crisis so that victims will be heard, supported and helped, and batterers will learn that violence will not be tolerated.

Take Care in Your Home

Reject any form of violence against women and children. Educate yourself and your children about family violence.

Know the location and phone number of a local shelter.

Take Action in Your Community

Volunteer and contribute to local shelters, hotlines and outreach agencies. Support victims of abuse trying to change their lives. Encourage anti-violence workplace seminars and curriculums in schools. Urge your legislators to address domestic violence. Think about relationship abuse as a major social problem that touches the lives of women, men and children of all social, economic and racial backgrounds. Focus on the ways in which you, as an empowered bystander, can get involved in bringing an end to this public health crisis.

Safety during an explosive incident

Decide and plan where you will go if you have to leave home (even if you don't think you will need to). Practice how to get out of your home safely. Identify which doors, windows, elevator or stairwell would be best. Have a packed bag ready and keep it at a relative's or friend's home in order to leave quickly. Use the checklist below to decide what is important for you to take. Identify one or more neighbors you can talk to about the violence and ask them to call the police if they hear a disturbance coming from your home. Devise a code word to use with your children, family, friends and neighbors when you need the police. If you believe an argument/incident is going to occur, try to move to a room or area where you have access to an exit. Stay away from any weapons, the bathroom, kitchen, bedroom or other rooms without an outside door or window. Use your own instincts and judgment. If the situation is very dangerous, do whatever is necessary to be safe. This may mean giving the abuser what he wants to calm him down. If necessary, call for help. Dial "0" or "911". Always remember - You Do Not Deserve To Be Hit, Threatened, or Live in Fear!

Safety when preparing to leave

Open a savings account and/or credit card in your own name to establish or increase your independence. Think of other ways in which you can increase your independence. Leave money, an extra set of keys, copies of important documents, extra medicines and clothes with someone you trust so you can leave quickly. Determine who would be able to let you stay with them or lend you some money. Keep the shelter or hotline number close at hand and keep some change or a calling card on you at all times for emergency phone calls. Review your safety plan as often as possible in order to plan the safest way to leave your batterer. Remember - Leaving Your Batterer Is A Very Dangerous Time!

Safety at home
Change the locks on your doors as soon as possible. Buy additional locks and safety devices to secure your windows. Discuss a safety plan with your children for when you are not with them. Tell your children's school, day care, etc., who has your permission to pick up the children. Notify your neighbors and landlord that your partner no longer lives with you and that they should call the police if they see him near your residence.

Safety with a protection order

Keep your protection order on you at all times. Give a copy to a trusted neighbor, family member or clergy person. Keep a copy in the glove compartment of your car. Call the police if your batterer violates the protection order. Think of other ways to keep safe until law enforcement arrives. Inform family, friends, neighbors, and a physician that you have a protection order.

Safety in public or at work

Tell your co-worker(s), boss and/or office or building security about your situation. Provide a picture of your batterer if possible. Arrange to have an answering machine, caller ID or co-worker screen your telephone calls if possible.

Devise a safety plan for when you leave work. Have someone escort you to your car or bus, and wait with you until you are safely on your way. Use a variety of routes to go home if possible. Think about what you would do if something happened while going home. Go to different grocery stores, businesses, and banks if possible. If this is not possible, change the time and day which you go shopping.
