Gelles University of Rhode Island Family Violence Research Program Published: 1995 Understanding Domestic Violence Factoids According to the FBI, A Woman is Beaten Every (fill in the blank) SECONDS First, the FBI does not calculate, tabulate, or track data on domestic violence. The FBI once did estimate that a women is beaten every 15 seconds, but they derived this estimate from Murray Straus, Richard J. Gelles, and Suzanne K. Steinmetz's book, Behind Closed Doors: Violence in the American Family. Various other fact sheets list various other number of seconds. The number of seconds depends on the study (if there actually was one) and how violence was defined. For example, some versions of this factoid state that a women is beaten every 9 seconds and cite a study done by the Commonwealth Fund in July, 1993. The Commonwealth Fund study used the same measure as was used by Straus and his colleagues. Unlike Straus and his colleagues who defined "abuse" as acts of violence that were likely to cause and injury, the Commonwealth Fund defined "abuse" as every thing from pushing, shoving, and slapping to using a gun or knife. There Are Four Million Women Beaten and Abused Each Year Same problems as above. The Straus, Gelles, and Steinmetz survey estimated that 2 million women were abused each year by their husbands. Straus and his colleagues speculated that if all the respondents told the truth and if ex-husbands and boyfriends were included, the number could be as high as 4 million. However, no study to date using a representative sample and measuring severe violence, has found more than 2 million abused women each year.

The Men's Network Against Domestic Violence works to bring men together in finding everyday ways that promote relationships and homes free from violence. We believe the collective voice of non-violent men can make a difference in overcoming negative images, values, and beliefs of what is popularly portrayed as being a strong man and teach our children that strength comes from solving problems without violence. The good news is there are many things that can be done. They all result in more awareness, stronger community, individual growth, and potential for a better world for women, children, and men. While domestic violence is a serious issue, modeling positive alternatives doesn't have to be gruelingly difficult. You may notice we refer to a variety of programs that focus on other types of violence including dating violence, bullying, or sexual violence against women. They all have common threads and there is no way to simply end domestic violence without ending all violence against women, children, and men. Everyone deserves to live free of violence.

52. Female Domestic Violence As with violence against women, domestic violence and abuse of men is by no McLeod, M., Women against men An examination of domestic violence based on http://www.menstuff.org/issues/byissue/femaledv.html

Female Domestic Violence Domestic Violence Women's Violence Controlling Domestic Violence Against Men Abstract People hit and abuse family members because they can. In today's society, as reflected in TV, movies, law enforcement, courts, and feminist propaganda, women are openly given permission to hit men. Presently 25%-30% of all intimate violence is exclusively female on male. "Primary aggressor" laws usually result in arrest of the male and ignore research showing 50% of domestic assaults are mutual combat. The woman is thus encouraged to abuse her partner further until finally he will take no more. Such provocation of the human male is dangerous. Studies consistently find women use weapons more often in assaults than do men (~80% for women; ~25% for men). Women are significantly more likely to throw an object, slap, kick, bite, or hit with their fist or an object. There is no support in the present data for the hypothesis that women use violence only in self defense. Three common reasons women give for male abuse are: to resolve the argument; to respond to family crisis; and to " stop him bothering me." Male abuse of a woman, requiring self defense, is one of the less-frequently stated reasons by women for their assaults. Our research shows that a gender-balanced approach to domestic violence is essential in order to reduce both the frequency and severity of such incidents for both men and women. Present laws and practices appear to commonly have the opposite effect.

On their web page it says, "LACAAW is a non-profit, multi-cultural, feminist , community-based volunteer organization." If you go to the first link and scroll down to the 6th picture, I think you will see that it underscores in some ways (as some of the other pictures do), the irresponsibility women are "officially" taught by feminists in accounting for their own behavior. To see an organization, that accepts taxpayer monies (1), behave in such an "irresponsible" way is disconcerting to me. A friend and I once attended a domestic violence conference in Long Beach where a poster very similar to #6 was prominently displayed. The poster read, "Just because you got me drunk is not an excuse to rape me." My friend proceeded to relate to me a conversation he once had with a very famous, Los Angeles, feminist attorney, when they had occasion to discuss the culpability of a man accused of rape in such a situation. It is clear from feminist laws that a man is in very big trouble if a couple goes out drinking, has sex, then a week later the woman files rape charges after she's had time to regret her indiscretion. My friend made the comment, "

explore the new feminism i ntroduction i nteraction ... editorials Make the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) Gender Inclusive, or Dump It! December 29, 2004 by Ray Blumhorst I am a firm believer that gender feminists (and all other people) have a right to freely speak their opinions, but I draw the line when gender feminist fallacies are touted as fact, and then passed into malicious laws that are used to persecute innocent people. No one should have to become a victim of endless abuse to satisfy an inhuman ideology that treats some human life as of lesser value than others. Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) advocates have routinely used the "connected knowing" methodology employed in gender feminist "knowing" to place feelings and emotions (voices) on a level with soundly deduced scientific research. Scientific research has conclusively shown time and again, that men are battered in domestic violence on a scale far, far greater than that which is currently accepted by the established domestic violence industry ( Fiebert Bibliography ). The damage from the idiotic, anecdotal, gender feminist, femi-babble has been immense in the lives of many traditional families across America. Gender feminists are literally ripping the very fabric of American society apart, and destroying the glue which has held this great nation together for centuries.

56. Violence Against Women In The United States Violent attacks on lesbians and gay men have become two to three times more Victims of domestic violence are being denied insurance in some states http://www.now.org/issues/violence/stats.html

@import url(/css/default.css); VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN IN THE UNITED STATES MURDER . Every day four women die in this country as a result of domestic violence, the euphemism for murders and assaults by husbands and boyfriends. That's approximately 1,400 women a year, according to the FBI. The number of women who have been murdered by their intimate partners is greater than the number of soldiers killed in the Vietnam War. BATTERING . Although only 572,000 reports of assault by intimates are officially reported to federal officials each year, the most conservative estimates indicate two to four million women of all races and classes are battered each year. At least 170,000 of those violent incidents are serious enough to require hospitalization, emergency room care or a doctor's attention. SEXUAL ASSAULT . Every year approximately 132,000 women report that they have been victims of rape or attempted rape, and more than half of them knew their attackers. It's estimated that two to six times that many women are raped, but do not report it. Every year 1.2 million women are forcibly raped by their current or former male partners, some more than once. THE TARGETS . Women are 10 times more likely than men to be victimized by an intimate. Young women, women who are separated, divorced or single, low- income women and African-American women are disproportionately victims of assault and rape. Domestic violence rates are five times higher among families below poverty levels, and severe spouse abuse is twice as likely to be committed by unemployed men as by those working full time. Violent attacks on lesbians and gay men have become two to three times more common than they were prior to 1988.

Violence against Women Violence against women is an obstacle to the achievement of the objectives of equality, development and peace. Violence against women both violates and impairs or nullifies the enjoyment by women of their human rights and fundamental freedoms. The long-standing failure to protect and promote those rights and freedoms in the case of violence against women is a matter of concern to all States and should be addressed. Knowledge about its causes and consequences, as well as its incidence and measures to combat it, have been greatly expanded since the Nairobi Conference. In all societies, to a greater or lesser degree, women and girls are subjected to physical, sexual and psychological abuse that cuts across lines of income, class and culture. The low social and economic status of women can be both a cause and a consequence of violence against women. The term "violence against women" means any act of gender-based violence that results in, or is likely to result in, physical, sexual or psychological harm or suffering to women, including threats of such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in public or private life. Accordingly, violence against women encompasses but is not limited to the following:

It knows no boundaries of geography, culture or wealth. As long as it continues, we cannot claim to be making real progress towards equality, development, and peace. " Kofi Annan, United Nations Secretary-General Violence against women takes various forms. It includes: domestic violence, rape, trafficking in women and girls, forced prostitution, and violence in armed conflict, such as murder, systematic rape, sexual slavery and forced pregnancy. It also includes honour killings, dowry-related violence, female infanticide and prenatal sex selection in favour of male babies, female genital mutilation, and other harmful practices and traditions. The Declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1993, testifies to the international recognition and understanding that violence against women is a violation of human rights and a form of discrimination against women. The Platform for Action, adopted by the Fourth World Conference on Women held in Beijing in 1995, identified violence against women as one of the 12 critical areas of concern requiring special attention of governments, the international community and civil society.
