Domestic Violence – It’s Everybody’s Business
Some Alarming Numbers
With 1 in 3 women in Australia experiencing domestic violence at some point in their lives. More than 70% of those women living in domestic violence having children in their care. Domestic violence is becoming a national crisis. In fact, an international one.
Stopping It Is Everyone’s Responsibility
It is everybody’s business. Long gone are the days when what ‘happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors.’
A Complex Construct
Domestic violence is a multi-layered and complex construct and needs to be addressed in various ways. Foremost education, of women, of men, of how we perceive gender differences and ultimately reinforce them, either intentionally or not!
Domestic Violence Is Affecting Women’s Feelings
What’s crippling is how domestic violence makes women feel. Worthless, hopeless, a nothing. As it eats away at their self-esteem and chews into the very core of their being, they feel more trapped and distressed. And so the cycle deteriorates.
