Domestic Violence

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Domestic violence is a very common problem in the society that we live; It doesn´t respect gender, social class, sexual orientation, or any other demographic aspect, anyone can be a victim of it without anyone knowing, most of the abused and aggressor people restrict themselves to speak out their situation; however some warning signs betray them, and those signs not necessarily have to be marks or scars, as Dianne Feinstein says,“Domestic violence causes far more pain than the visible marks of bruises and scars. It is devastating to be abused by someone that you love and think loves you in return. It is estimated that approximately 3 million incidents of domestic violence are reported each year in the United States.” When someone changes his behavior, humor, or personality, could mean that this person is being abused. Some other signs that alert about domestic violence could be the scars or injuries that may have an aggressed person; in these cases they usually try to justify those facts elaborating stories of how the marks occurred. The low self-stem could cause the absences to work or to school that could affect the individual performance is one of the most remarkable warning signs of domestic violence. If you notice this kind of things in someone that you know, don’t hesitate in let the police or any other authorities know about it, this could save a life.
