Table of Contents Section 1: Why do people stay in abusive relationships? Section 2: Statistics on Domestic Violence Section 3: Online Domestic Violence Resources Section 1: Why do people stay in abusive relationships? A person looking at an abusive relationship from the outside tends to ask one major question: why does he/she stay? Although the idea of walking away from a relationship seems easy enough, it isn’t for a victim of domestic violence. Here are a few common reasons that victims of domestic violence stay. FEAR - Fear is a common emotion expressed in an abusive relationship. If attempts are made to remove themselves from that situation, the retaliation from their abuser can be horrible. So, instead of trying to change things and risk being hurt more, the only option left is to stay. ISOLATION - An important tactic used by an abuser is isolation. Turning the victim against their friends and/or family makes them an easier target. If the victim has no one to turn to for help, then their only option is to stay.

63. DADS Against Discrimination - National Home Office the Justice Department. In the same fouryear period, 2% of violence against men was from domestic situations, the study said. . http://www.peak.org/~jedwards/dv.htm

WELCOME DADS condemns all forms of domestic violence, but wants to publicize the fact that every responsible study shows that women commit at least equal violence against men. It perpetrates the adolescent-feminist chauvinist myth of all women as innocent victims, and men as animal brutes. It fosters the bias of courts against fatherhood, where mothers are awarded custody 75% of the time, and mothers are issued custody grabbing restraining orders like candy, effectively excluding fathers from the lives of their children. This type of rhetoric is thus a cause of the current Father absence and is the number one predictor of child delinquency, drug use, teen pregnancy, incarceration, and child suicide. These problems will never be solved until fathers are afforded the same "rights" as mother have in the family. The feminist driven one-sided domestic violence rhetoric, which is challenged in this section, is part of the problem, not part of the solution.

Gender bias no cure for domestic violence by By Lisa Scott This article originally appeared in The Seattle Times document.write(''); //> O ctober was Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Most articles and public-service announcements focused exclusively on female victims, while at the same time stereotyping all abusers as male. Federal laws such as the Violence Against Women Act codify gender discrimination and gender profiling. Women's advocates claim that virtually all domestic-violence victims are women, therefore discrimination is justified. They repeat often-cited claims such as "the number one reason women age 16 to 40 end up in the emergency room is violence," "95 percent of domestic violence is committed by men" and "the chance of being victimized by an intimate partner is 10 times greater for a woman than a man." Yet, these "statistics" cannot be verified and are repeatedly contradicted by both government and private studies. A Centers for Disease Control (CDC) report found the leading causes of women's injury-related emergency room visits are accidental falls, motor-vehicle accidents and accidental cuts. Homicide or injury purposely inflicted by others (including strangers and intimates) was the least likely cause, exceeded even by injuries due to animal bites and venomous plants (National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey: 1992 Emergency Department Summary).

Project North Star Men Step Up in Chelsea On February 27, 2003 the first "Men Step Up" event was co-sponsored by HarborCOV, The Chelsea Domestic Violence Task Force, The Care Community Network, Centro Latino and ‘The Crew'. A community gathering for discussion and action planning, the event was a richly multicultural and bilingual (Spanish, English) gathering of 45 folks, with men and women equally represented. The meeting was highly participatory and action steps were developed as men 'stepped up' and were joined in their goals. Developing Strategies A men's group was formed in which participants will work through exploring their own experiences of violence and strategies for working 'from the inside out' and mutual support. After a discussion including 6 male case workers from the Chelsea area DSS office, Fernando Mederos volunteered to work with them and with their coworkers to learn strategies for communicating effectively with males on their family caseload. We will be doing new community education and organizing through the Chelsea Care Community Network and the Chelsea Domestic Violence Task Force. We discussed holding follow up workshops with the entire group to deepen our understanding and shared language around domestic violence and gender violence.

Is There Anti-Male Bias in Domestic Violence Services? "Yes!" That was the resounding response to two May, 2003, articles in the Cecil Whig , a Cecil County, Maryland newspaper, that were widely reposted on the Internet. The paper was covering a controversy that erupted when the County's Domestic Violence/Rape Crisis Center (DVRCC) staff walked out of a May 12th Cecil County Family Violence Coordinating Council in protest of its showing a "skewered, sensationalist" 20/20 news magazine segment on women who assault male partners. DVRCC staff reportedly also said that given the statistics of how few men come to them for services, they were concerned the Council had spent too much time in the past year talking about male victims, to the detriment of other underserved victims such as elderly victims, those with disabilities, and those with limited proficiency in English. The controversy got additional mileage the next week, when the Second Judicial Court discussed whether the walkout precluded the judges, at least one of whom was present at the Council meeting, from associating with DVRCC, since state law precludes judges from associating with people and agencies suspected of gender bias. The judges apparently did not reach a conclusion.

Many young men need advice and direction on how to behave towards women and they want to talk to you about it. Share your experiences and let them know what you've learned. Here's how: Teach Early. Bring It Up. A kid will rarely approach you and ask for guidance on how to treat women. But that doesn't mean he doesn't need or want it. Try watching TV with him or listening to his music. If you see or hear things that depict violence against women, tell him what you think about it. And your job isn't done once you get the first talk out of the way. Help him work through problems in relationships as they arise. Let him know he can come back and talk to you again anytime. Listen. Hear what he has to say. Listen to how he and his friends talk about girls. Ask him if he's ever seen abusive behavior in his friends. Is he worried about any of his friends who are being hurt in their relationships? Are any of his friends hurting anyone else? Tell Him How.

Chapter 3 VIOLENCE AGAINST MEN If you want to push some hot buttons, just try suggesting that women also abuse men. While the very idea of a man being beaten by a woman runs contrary to many of our deeply ingrained beliefs about men and women, female violence against men is a well-documented phenomenon almost completely ignored by both the media and by society. Even the most open-minded find it difficult to imagine that husband battering could take place. Although feminism has opened many of our eyes about the existence of domestic violence, and newspaper reports often include incidents of abused wives, the abuse of husbands is a rarely discussed phenomenon. One reason researchers and others have not chosen to investigate husband battering is because it was thought to be a fairly rare occurrence. Police reports seemed to bear this out by showing a ratio of 10 to 15 female victims for every one male victim. Another reason for this is that women were seen as weaker and more helpless than men, whereas men were seen as more sturdy and self reliant. The image of a battered wife is firmly established in the public consciousness. In the aftermath of the Nicole Simpson murder (and the nearly forgotten Ron Goldman), the national media almost exclusively portrayed the male as the brutal, overpowering, must-be-stopped perpetrator of domestic violence and the female as the helpless, innocent victim, deserving our collective sympathies. That situation may be accurate in some instances and should not be tolerated. However, to consider the possibility of a battered husband is so far from our universal image of men, it is hard for some to accept. Nevertheless, many studies have been done to demonstrate the reality of the husband who has been assaulted and seriously injured by his wife or girlfriend.

Domestic Violence Fact Sheet Intimate partner violence is pervasive in U.S. society. Nearly 25 percent of women surveyed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said they were raped and/or physically assaulted by a current or former spouse, cohabiting partner, or date at some time in their lives. Nearly 7.6 percent of men surveyed reported the same. * In 92% of all domestic violence incidents, crimes are committed by men against women. ** Estimates range from 960,000 incidents of violence against a current or former spouse, boyfriend, or girlfriend each year to 4 million women who are physically abused by their husbands or live-in partners each year.** Studies show that child abuse occurs in 30-60% of family violence cases that involve families with children.** Women experience more chronic and injurious physical assaults at the hands of intimate partners than do men. Women who were physically assaulted by an intimate partner averaged 6.9 physical assaults by that same partner, while men averaged 4.4 assaults. * Most intimate partner victimizations are not reported to the police. Approximately 1/5 of all rapes, ¼ of all physical assaults, and ½ of all stalkings perpetrated against female respondents by intimates were reported to police. Even fewer reported by male victims surveyed. *

Battered Men? Battered Facts EXTRA! Update, October '94 Husbands are battered as much as wives in the U.S.? John Leo, syndicated columnist, is sure of it. "There's no doubt about this," Leo said as a guest on CNN's Crossfire (7/2/94). "It was established in 1980 by a female researcher." When co-host Michael Kinsley asked him if it seemed plausible that women were as violent as men, Leo dismissed the question. "We don't have to cogitate this," he said. "The evidence is in. All these studies have established this." Leo is not alone in insisting on parity between battered men and battered women. Domestic violence "is not either the man's fault or the woman's," Judith Sherven and James Sniechowski wrote in an L.A. Times op-ed (6/21/94). "Both the male and the female are bound in their dance of mutual destructiveness." "Why do we protest domestic violence against women and not even know about violence against men?" men's advocate Warren Farrell wrote in a USA Today column (6/29/94), arguing that women's violence is as bad as men'sif not worse. Alan Dershowitz, part of O.J. Simpson's defense team, used his syndicated column (
