Women are shown in ads and places that do not
take them serious. But what happens when one is assaulted or a victim of
domestic violence from there partner? Do the media talk about it, or do they
talk more about the Victoria Secret Model new photo shoot. “In 2005, 1,181 women
were murdered by an intimate partner.1 That's an average of
three women every day. Of all the women murdered in the U.S., about one-third
were killed by an intimate partner”, from an article from NOW.com (National
Organization for Women). No one notices these violent acts, but do notice the
other things instead of the one main focus, Women in Domestic.
In 2009, one of the biggest events was
happening, The Grammy’s. Singer Rihanna and her ex-boyfriend singer Chris Brown got into an
atication driving there way to the Grammy’s. Rihanna wanted to see who Chris was texting, supposely he
was texting an old girlfriend. Rihanna wanted to see the text and Chris
refused. The argument eventually turned into an physical attack onto Rihanna.
Chris Brown hit, punched and even hit Rihanna. Now no one is bashing on Chris
Brown what had happened is done and over with. The question that is being
raised is, how come that situation was broadcast the day after, and no other
situation like that was. While the was going on, someone else, another female
could have been getting assaulted, or beat on by her boyfriend. The media
doesn’t focus on the bigger issue of not just what happened between Chris Brown
and Rihanna, but what is happening to women all over the country.
Situations
such as Domestic Violence are never really brought up in the media unless
someone gets brutally hurt, or even to the point killed. When a woman is being
abused by her partner, or who ever, they report it, but it isn’t taking
serious. Almost 35% of abusers are released from prison on bail after being
held for abusing a woman. This action should be looked at more closely. If the
abuser is release, don’t you think that he is going to go after the woman that
he abused that got him locked up? Abusers aren’t looked at as actually armed
and dangerous, but more non-stable when they are the ones that are armed and
dangerous.
Some other abuses can be when the person was little. They could be
abuse when they were little, and the anger from that could build up and take it
out on other people. This is another example of people who take their anger out
on people. They hit, and even kill people. This isn’t intentionally but it is
hurtful to others that are the ones getting abuse. Sometimes the person that is
getting abuse is the person the abuser doesn’t wants to abuse but they picture
you as the other person they want to get back at.
Fear is another way woman get abused more. If the woman do not come
forward telling what is going on, than the abuse is going to continue. Many
abuses are not reported every year, over A high number of domestic
violence and child abuse cases go unreported in the country. Almost 450 cases
each year or even more. The country is striving to find out more about these
cases, but if no one is coming forward to and telling about these abuses, no
one can help them and they can not be reported.
Women you must come
forward, it’s not the countries fought but it is there fought for not bringing
it to attention. We need to notice it more.
