How To Prevent Abuse Among Women

There are some tips and guidence to prevent abuse to women....

1.Teach and educate about violence. This can be most effective by educating young people to help them understand that violence is never an acceptable behavior.

2.Promote violence awareness. When people become aware of the statistics and effects domestic violence has on lives and communities, it keeps the issue alive and important.

3.Speak out against violence. Talking about the seriousness of domestic violence amongst friends, family and other community members also helps to keep the importance out there.

4.Take a stand against entertainment, music and jokes that might trivialize violence. Also, stand up against comments that blame the victim.

5.Organize fundraisers to support the local efforts behind violence prevention and awareness. The better funded the programs are, the more reach they can have.

6.Encourage communities to establish centers for violence. Those that are being domestically abused will go get help when they know that it is readily available.

7.Support local laws and legislation aimed at supporting and protecting against violence. When stricter laws and legislation are in play, abusers tend to think twice, while those that have been abused feel more secure with turning to law enforcement for help.

i agreed with you..no one deserves this kind of pain, once you acknowledge the reality of the abusive situation, then you can get the help you need.
