Blogger # 6 Domestic  Violence.

  The exhibition aimed to show the lack of voice fear and shame that women trapped in a cycle of domestic violence. Domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to women between the ages of 15 and 44 in the United State more than car accidents, muggings, and rape combined. A woman is more likely to be assaulted, injured, raped, or killed by a male partner than by any other type of aggressor. So how can we get folks talking about these issues to drives more awareness and break down the barrier of stigma, silence and shame that keep people from seeking help and taking action before problems arises.

This graffiti art depicts an angry man raising his hand to hit the women. Abusers may be act very jealously, and work to control victims' access to family and friends or employment. The abuse may be extreme enough so that the victim loses a job because of absenteeism or decreased productivity while at work, or is prevented from working at all. In its most violent form, domestic violence will involve actual physical and sexual violence, kidnapping of children, torture or murder of pets, etc. Some victims are driven to suicide.

These are the group of protesters gathered to demonstrate their concern about women that are facing domestic violence holding a difference color of signs green, purple and blue with a different meaning on it.The green color show how women are being killed every week by their partner. The purple color which stand for good judgment on the numbers of women facing domestic violence and the last one is telling the victim to speak out, why because talking with someone is the first and most crucial step in getting the help you deserve. There are people in your community willing and able to help you.

    Each state has acknowledged this is not just a family issue, but a crime and a significant legal and public health problem. They have helped bring awareness to domestic violence by putting laws on the book that make it illegal in every state to abuse a spouse or family member. Continuing down this path of acknowledgment will ensure that fewer people are affected by violence in the future, and help bring healing to those who have survived.
