Domestic Violence: Unveiling the Dark Reality



Have you ever wondered about the intricate complexities of domestic violence? Let's delve into this unsettling issue and understand its impact on individuals and families. Domestic violence, also known as domestic abuse or family violence, occurs when one person inflicts harm or abuse on another within a domestic setting, such as marriage or cohabitation.

Key Points:

Forms of Domestic Violence: Domestic violence can take various forms, including physical, verbal, emotional, economic, religious, reproductive, and sexual abuse. It can escalate from subtle coercion to severe violence, leaving victims with disfigurement or even death.

Global Impact: Domestic violence disproportionately affects women, who often endure more severe forms of violence. Unfortunately, it is one of the most underreported crimes worldwide for both men and women, leading to inadequate awareness and support.

Cultural Perceptions: In some societies, domestic violence is still perceived as justified, especially in cases of suspected infidelity, and it may be legally permitted. Gender equality plays a significant role in shaping rates of domestic violence in different countries.

The cycle of Abuse: Abusive relationships often follow a cycle of violence, reconciliation, and calm, making it difficult for victims to break free from the cycle due to various factors like isolation, financial constraints, fear, and shame.

Impact on Victims and Children: Victims of domestic violence endure physical and psychological trauma, which may lead to chronic health issues, mental illness, and difficulty forming healthy relationships. Children exposed to domestic violence may also suffer from psychological problems from an early age.

Legal Protection: Some countries have laws to protect women from domestic violence, but awareness, perception, and documentation of the issue vary significantly worldwide.

Takeout:
Domestic violence is a grave issue that demands urgent attention and collective efforts to create a safer world for everyone. By promoting awareness, supporting victims, and advocating for stricter laws and interventions, we can work towards eliminating this scourge from our society.

I invite you to join the conversation and share your opinions on this crucial topic. Together, let's strive to make the world a better place for everyone, free from the shadow of domestic violence.

In My Feelings

I'm in over my head and possibly out of my league. I have become very cautious with my words, every sentence should make perfect sense, have the right rhythm and sound intriguing to perfectly explain how I feel without being impulsive or becoming too pesty.  Click 1 I'm not feeling it, but I know the feeling, I'm not seeing it but I know how beautiful it is. I can't hold it but I know it is the most tangible asset. I've loved and still love you without a price tag. So it's not that I love you but I am in love with you. We're not all expressive, some say it as it is while others don't.  Click 2 Well I've already accepted to not give up, to be there when there's nothing to make me remain and at the same time remain committed to you because I believe that someday you'll not just see how much I love you or feel it but I'll see it from you when am down and just the sight of it will make my heart plunder deep into tears of ...

Everyday gives a new start

I've always viewed life from the sidelines, Just watching it pass me by, In the past too afraid to just let go and live, And lately too tired to try. https://www.justychidd.com/2018/06/let-life-race-you-out-your-fears.html I've envied the people around me, So invested in living each day, While I spent my time hiding out from the world, And searching for ways to escape.  In love but no leg For most of my life, I truly believed, I was here to help somebody else, But now it's so clear it was just an excuse. To avoid living life for myself.   Love is an action word It's sad that our lives and the pain we endure, Can weaken our strength to move on, But if we get lost in the scars of our past, Without knowing our lives will be gone.
