Domestic Violence

It is the most common cause of of injury for women, leading to even more injuries than car accidents.

People don't realize how serious this matter is. But it's bigger than you can even imagine.

It's not just the abuse to the victim, but for those who have children. Imagine the pain, the fear that they endure everyday and every night. Probably dreading to go home to watch their father/boyfriend beat on their mother.

Some abusers isolate their victims from family and friends, work, any other outside functions. An then you have some who are the complete opposite.

You have some who don't even care who knows that abuse theirr partner. Or speaks to them like their scum or like their daddy.

Some abusers have explosive tempers and become violent during an abusive episode; afterwards they become remorseful and try to woo their affection and promises to change, but the abusive behavior rarely stops.
