October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM), but domestic violence
is an yearly…on going…constant problem suffered by females AND MALES.
I comprised the Domestic Violence sections with info from notable web sites.
I included the links to the original source. I hope the info is useful to you or
someone you know. Or even a friend of a friend…or a friend of a friend of a friend etc etc etc…
Domestic violence is the willful intimidation, physical assault, battery,
sexual assault, and/or other abusive behavior perpetrated by an intimate
partner against another. It is an epidemic affecting individuals in every
community, regardless of age, economic status, race, religion, nationality
or educational background. Violence against women is often accompanied
by emotionally abusive and controlling behavior, and thus is part of a
systematic pattern of dominance and control. Domestic violence results in
physical injury, psychological trauma, and sometimes death. The consequences
of domestic violence can cross generations and truly last a lifetime.

“Domestic violence should not happen to anybody. Ever. Period. But it does -
and when it does, there is help. Maybe you have lived with abuse, maybe it
happened just once; maybe you work or live next to someone who is being
abused right now”.

Maybe one day we will finally stop, end, demolish…THUMP DOMESTIC VIOLENCE!
