The NVAW survey found that women are significantly more likely than men to report being victims of rape, physical assault, or stalking than men. Women also experience more chronic and injurious physical assaults at the hands of intimate partners. The survey found that women who were physically assaulted by an intimate partner averaged 6.9 physical assaults by the same partner, whereas men averaged 4.4 assaults. Race and Socioeconomic Factors Rates of intimate partner violence vary significantly among women of diverse racial backgrounds. The survey found that Asian/Pacific Islander women and men tend to report lower rates of intimate partner violence than do women and men from other minority backgrounds, and African-American and American Indian/Alaska Native women and men report higher rates. However, differences among minority groups diminish when other sociodemographic and relationship variables are controlled.

Therapist Link View the Directory Add a Name to the Directory ... Advertising Information Men and Women Define Domestic Violence Differently Men are less likely to Define Means of Psychological Control as Abusive Behavior According to Liz Claiborne Inc. Study Is it abuse if a man punches, hits or strikes a woman? How about if he prevents her from seeing her family or friends? What if he tells her what she can and can't wear? A survey commissioned by Liz Claiborne Inc.'s Women's Work program reveals that men and women don't entirely agree in the way they define abusive behaviors. While equal numbers of the men and women surveyed agreed that acts of physical violence toward a woman (99%) and threats of such violence (96%) are abuse, men are less likely than women to include behaviors such as telling her what clothes she can or cannot wear or refusing to give her money when she asks for it or needs it in their definitions of domestic abuse. Only one-third (33 percent) of the men surveyed said that controlling what a woman wears is definitely abuse, while over 50 percent of the women said that it definitely is a form of abuse. A similar difference is seen in the views of men and women on whether a man is guilty of abuse if he refuses to give his wife or girlfriend money. Only 24 percent of men and 37 percent of women say that this behavior is definitely abuse, and 54 percent of men and 74 percent of women say that this behavior is probably abuse. Despite the extensive media attention given to relationship violence over the past three years, we find Americans, particularly men, are still struggling to define psychological control as abusive behavior, said Esta Soler, executive director, Family Violence Prevention Fund. As more people learn about abuse, they will realize that men use both physical and psychological means to gain control of women.

Site Map The following are examples of ways to rephrase victim-blaming language: She provoked him. He made a choice. Why does she stay? Why does he batter? Family violence, violent relationship Abuser, violent person She is a battered woman. He is an abuser. He has an anger control issue. He uses abuse to have power and control over his partner. Language, or word choice, has a tremendous impact on what we think of ourselves and each other. Think back to a time in your childhood when someone called you a name, or said something derogatory about you. You can probably remember the exact words they used to humiliate or degrade you. Words are extremely powerful. Survivors of domestic and sexual violence experience the impact of negative words every time someone questions their actions or doubts their experiences. People often underestimate the importance of choosing appropriate language to discuss the issues of domestic and sexual violence. For example, following a homicide/suicide in Sheridan, Oregon, a local newspaper headline read: "Couple leaves behind two small children."

While a great deal of research has been done on case law in the state systems, little to no analysis has been done on the tribal judicial approach to domestic violence.

A new appropriation request for over $360 million will soon hit Congress, but a chance for gender sanity is coming. The answer to renewing VAWA should be a thundering "NO!" What is the Violence Against Women Act? In 1994, Congress passed the act as part of an Omnibus Crime Bill. VAWA pitted the sexes against each other by focusing on "crimes of violence motivated by gender;" victims were defined as female and only women were offered the massive tax-funded benefits. VAWA institutionalized the political belief that women, as a class, must receive special protection from men and privileges from government. Domestic violence was a specific focus. When male victims protested their exclusion, VAWA advocates dismissed them as statistically insignificant. Today

Mainely Men against Empowering men to end all forms of violence Are you a man who has been affected by sexual violence? Would you like support from other men who have been affected? Are you a Dad concerned about your daughters? Whether you're a survivor of sexual assault or abuse...Or whether the sexual assault or abuse of a mother, sister, girlfriend, or other loved one has affected you... We know the pain, the anger, and the confusion that sexual violence causes. Mainely Men Against Violence and Sexism is here to help men help each other: To end the violence that permeates our culture, and to support one another in that work. We men need to get involved in ending rape, sexual assault, and other forms of abuse. We as men perpetrate the vast majority (95%) of the assaults, and yet the topic is usually framed as a "Women's Issue." We want to make it very clear that we men must get involved because we are involved. We are perpetrators, survivors, and friends of survivors, and need to get involved. We have grand-mothers, mothers, sisters, cousins, nieces, wives, girlfriends, daughters, grand daughters and others who have or may become the subject of abuse. This site will show you HOW you can get involved in working to end the violence they are subject to, everyday. MMAVS was formed with the belief that it's up to the "everyday" individual to help end the everyday violence that is ingrained into our culture.

Most of our social problems are caused by kids who grow up in homes without their own fathers: drug abuse, illicit sexual activity, unwed pregnancies, youth suicide, high school dropouts, runaways, and crime. Where have all the fathers gone? Some men are irresponsible slobs, but no evidence exists that nearly half of American children were voluntarily abandoned by their own fathers; there must be other explanations. For 30 years, feminist organizations and writers have propagated the myth that women are victims of an oppressive patriarchal society and that marriage is an inherently abusive institution that makes wives second-class citizens. Feminists made divorce a major component of women's liberation and their political freedom.

Chapter 3: Ending Violence against Women and Girls Home Contents Overview Gender and Health ... Tables A Human Rights and Health Priority Bartholomew/Liaison Indian prostitutes. Many women and girls are lured into prostitution by traffickers who target the poor and vulnerable. Millions of women require medical attention or otherwise suffer the impact of gender-based violence; fear of violence inhibits discussion and constrains the health choices and life opportunities of many millions more. Psychological abuse almost always accompanies physical abuse. In addition, one third to one half of all cases involve sexual abuse. A high proportion of women who are beaten are subjected to violence repeatedly. Violence against women is a pervasive yet under-recognized human rights violation. Accordingly, the 1993 World Conference on Human Rights, Vienna,and the 1995 Fourth World Conference on Women, Beijing, gave priority to this problem. Violence against women and girls takes many forms: At least 60 million girls who would otherwise be expected to be alive are "missing" from various populations, mostly in Asia, as a result of sex-selective abortions, infanticide or neglect;

" Ending Widespread Violence Against Women Around the world, as many as one in every three women has been beaten, coerced into sex, or abused in some other way — most often by someone she knows, including by her husband or another male family member; one woman in four has been abused during pregnancy. "Violence against women both violates and impairs or nullifies the enjoyment by women of their human rights and fundamental freedoms... 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." Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, paragraph 112 Gender-based violence encompasses a wide range of human rights violations, including sexual abuse of children, rape, domestic violence, sexual assault and harassment, trafficking of women and girls and several harmful traditional practices.

Why don't men leave relationships that are supposedly so unsatisfactory to them? What is the cycle of abuse? ... Can men be the victims of domestic violence? Introduction Women may be afraid of strangers, but it's a husband, a lover, a boyfriend, or someone they know who is most likely to hurt them. According to a U.S. Justice Department study, two-thirds of violent attacks against women are committed by someone the woman knows. In the United States, the most dangerous place for a woman is in her own home, where anger may explode into violence. Approximately 1,500 women are killed each year by husbands or boyfriends. About 2 million men per year beat their partners, according to the F.B.I. There is no excuse for abuse. Is there a profile of men who batter their partners? Most experts say there is no one profile of men who batter or beat women. Domestic violence crosses all social and economic boundaries. According to Dr. Susan Hanks

American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees 1625 L Street, NW Washington, DC 20036-5687 COACHING BOYS INTO MEN Union Men Taking Action Against Domestic Violence Sometimes the only messages boys get are the wrong ones. 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.
