Why do you think the increase in death is occuring? Including the #MeToo movement what other factors could be at play? Or what underlying factors of the #MeToo movement could be affecting the death rate? by ROAN BRIMACOMB https://padlet.com/rbri2101/xosuge2hq2e29k5u Made with whimsy en-us 2020-10-06 21:12:52 UTC 2020-10-13 18:40:43 UTC hello@padlet.com I think it's possible that the death rates in abuse aren't actually rising, just more noticed now, especially after the #metoo movement https://padlet.com/rbri2101/xosuge2hq2e29k5u/wish/826208042 2020-10-13 18:31:16 UTC https://padlet.com/rbri2101/xosuge2hq2e29k5u/wish/826208042 Increase in domestic violence related deaths obor2101 https://padlet.com/rbri2101/xosuge2hq2e29k5u/wish/826208124 There might be more victims of abusive relationships that are actively trying to leave their relationships because of confidence gained from the me too movement and that time period of escape is one of the most dangerous for victims of abuse. Abusers want to do anything to prevent the victim from escaping. ]]> 2020-10-13 18:31:17 UTC https://padlet.com/rbri2101/xosuge2hq2e29k5u/wish/826208124 It might be a result of more people coming forward about abuse as a result of the me too movement encouraging victims to come forward, rather than more people being killed by it. https://padlet.com/rbri2101/xosuge2hq2e29k5u/wish/826208235 2020-10-13 18:31:18 UTC https://padlet.com/rbri2101/xosuge2hq2e29k5u/wish/826208235 MeToo Movement https://padlet.com/rbri2101/xosuge2hq2e29k5u/wish/826208516 The #MeToo movement might have encouraged more victims of abuse to speak out not only online but in their own relationships, which may have made more partners angry and aggressive. This would result in an increase of conflict and thus the increase in death rates.]]> 2020-10-13 18:31:23 UTC https://padlet.com/rbri2101/xosuge2hq2e29k5u/wish/826208516 I think they may not be actually be rising, but there is just more awareness of it due to things like the me too movement. https://padlet.com/rbri2101/xosuge2hq2e29k5u/wish/826208850 2020-10-13 18:31:28 UTC https://padlet.com/rbri2101/xosuge2hq2e29k5u/wish/826208850 I think the increase in death rates could be related to the Me Too movement and more people coming out about the abuse they are enduring https://padlet.com/rbri2101/xosuge2hq2e29k5u/wish/826209243 2020-10-13 18:31:34 UTC https://padlet.com/rbri2101/xosuge2hq2e29k5u/wish/826209243 https://padlet.com/rbri2101/xosuge2hq2e29k5u/wish/826209914 It is possible that the increase in death is resulting from more women opening up about their challenges in abusive relationships and their partners retaliating with violence as revenge. While the metoo movement is a great opportunity for women to relate to each other and have a safe space to share their experiences, it also puts them in a very vulnerable place where they could be subjected to more violence. ]]> 2020-10-13 18:31:44 UTC https://padlet.com/rbri2101/xosuge2hq2e29k5u/wish/826209914 My answer https://padlet.com/rbri2101/xosuge2hq2e29k5u/wish/826210447 I think it is just better reporting being done rather than a general increase, because of more light being shed on it. Things like the MeToo movement have shown us how common these things really are.

Moreover, cases in which the victim kills the abuser are so miniscule in the grand scale of the death toll. (PS. I believe the victims actions are justified).]]> 2020-10-13 18:32:08 UTC https://padlet.com/rbri2101/xosuge2hq2e29k5u/wish/826211562 https://padlet.com/rbri2101/xosuge2hq2e29k5u/wish/826211711 The increase in death rates could be a result of more victims coming forward and sharing their story. It could also be that it is becoming more publicly known and victims are encouraged to share their experiences and not sit back and let their abuser get away with it.]]> 2020-10-13 18:32:11 UTC https://padlet.com/rbri2101/xosuge2hq2e29k5u/wish/826211711 efri2101 https://padlet.com/rbri2101/xosuge2hq2e29k5u/wish/826212133 the death rate could be increasing because abusers are more fearful of being found out so they are quicker to abuse their partner for trying to come forward and share their story. ]]> 2020-10-13 18:32:17 UTC https://padlet.com/rbri2101/xosuge2hq2e29k5u/wish/826212133 https://padlet.com/rbri2101/xosuge2hq2e29k5u/wish/826212157 I think death rates could be rising but also from the #metoo movement and more, the subject is becoming much more well known. With more victims stepping forward to tell their stories and leaving their abusers, abusers could be more fearful that their victims will leave and that leads to them killing their victims. ]]> 2020-10-13 18:32:18 UTC https://padlet.com/rbri2101/xosuge2hq2e29k5u/wish/826212157 https://padlet.com/rbri2101/xosuge2hq2e29k5u/wish/826212210 I think there may be an increase in people coming forward with their experiences with domestic abuse rather than more people dying, but there also could be more of a focus on people dying due to domestic abuse. ]]> 2020-10-13 18:32:18 UTC https://padlet.com/rbri2101/xosuge2hq2e29k5u/wish/826212210 I think that rather than the number rising, it might be the awareness that is truly increasing. https://padlet.com/rbri2101/xosuge2hq2e29k5u/wish/826212239 2020-10-13 18:32:18 UTC https://padlet.com/rbri2101/xosuge2hq2e29k5u/wish/826212239 https://padlet.com/rbri2101/xosuge2hq2e29k5u/wish/826212801 I think that the MeToo movement empowered a lot of women to come forward and also confront their abusive relationships, and I feel like a lot of times abusers can erupt in outbursts of violence when things don't go their way, so with more women probably taking a stand or leaving relationships, there may have been and increase in fights between these couples, some resulting in death. ]]> 2020-10-13 18:32:26 UTC https://padlet.com/rbri2101/xosuge2hq2e29k5u/wish/826212801 https://padlet.com/rbri2101/xosuge2hq2e29k5u/wish/826212961 It may be possible that the MeToo movement encouraged more people to share their stories and have the confidence to report their abusers, which means more cases. ]]> 2020-10-13 18:32:28 UTC https://padlet.com/rbri2101/xosuge2hq2e29k5u/wish/826212961 I believe that the public is more aware of it. In the past certain cases may have been swept under the rug, possibly ruled a suicide or an accident. But now more are being reported and documented correctly, the MeToo movement helped bring it to the publics attention, causing more of these to be reported. https://padlet.com/rbri2101/xosuge2hq2e29k5u/wish/826213167 2020-10-13 18:32:31 UTC https://padlet.com/rbri2101/xosuge2hq2e29k5u/wish/826213167 I think the death rates were always there, the MeToo movement just brought them to the forefront of public attention ebro2101 https://padlet.com/rbri2101/xosuge2hq2e29k5u/wish/826213715 2020-10-13 18:32:41 UTC https://padlet.com/rbri2101/xosuge2hq2e29k5u/wish/826213715 https://padlet.com/rbri2101/xosuge2hq2e29k5u/wish/826216096 The increase in death rates could be because people are more aware of the issue]]> 2020-10-13 18:33:17 UTC https://padlet.com/rbri2101/xosuge2hq2e29k5u/wish/826216096 https://padlet.com/rbri2101/xosuge2hq2e29k5u/wish/826246541 2020-10-13 18:40:43 UTC https://padlet.com/rbri2101/xosuge2hq2e29k5u/wish/826246541
