This brief video displays the process of domestic violence. It shows that domestic violence can start off slow with little to no warning signs. As the relationship progressed the husband started to become increasingly violent and abusive. He also started to get more controlling, and took away her credit cards and cash. The husband started to beat her more frequently and blamed her for making him do such a thing in the first place. People who experience such a trauma are likely scared of their abuser and would probably would not report them in fear of getting hurt again.]]> 2018-11-29 20:16:05 UTC https://padlet.com/meganbate143/1fmsdphoryak/wish/309536640 meganbate143 https://padlet.com/meganbate143/1fmsdphoryak/wish/309538035 This video displays statistics of domestic violence from all around the world.

The sad, ugly truth about this is many women believe their husbands are justified in beating them even for trivial incidents, and domestic abuse is widely viewed as strictly an issue to keep within the family. According to estimates from the UN, between 250,000 and 500,000 women were raped during the 1994 genocide in Rwanda (Region of Africa). Studies from Australia, Canada, Israel, South Africa, and the United States show between 40% and 70% of female murders were committed by someone who was considered an intimate partners. Likewise, a WHO study on domestic violence carried out in 10 countries found more than 75 % of women who had been physically or sexually abused since the age of 15 years had been abused by a partner. In addition, 48 population-based studies from around the world found that between 10%-69% of women reported having been physically assaulted by an intimate partner during their lifetime.(]]> 2018-11-29 20:29:10 UTC https://padlet.com/meganbate143/1fmsdphoryak/wish/309543439 meganbate143 https://padlet.com/meganbate143/1fmsdphoryak/wish/309559511 2018-11-29 21:07:33 UTC https://padlet.com/meganbate143/1fmsdphoryak/wish/309559511
