However one should know that even boys can be subjected to such violence.
This is one little step i would like to take to stop domestic violence. I hope that someday this violence stops and every lives happily together
Domestic violence is the obstinate terrorization, physical stabbing, battery, sexual attack, and other abusive behavior as part of an organized model of power and control perpetrated by a close partner against another.
October is time for raising domestic violence issues within our communities. It is extra special to survivors like me for people to help spread the facts about domestic violence instead of letting rumors fly around.
When girls and women are violated on the streets, in buses and in isolated mills, we feel naturally outraged. Yet, when they get abused, raped and victimized in the safety of their own homes, we remain unnaturally silent. Domestic Violence accounts for 50% of all reported crimes against women in India. One in every three women is sexually, psychologically and physically violated by her male partner. Many of these women are young brides, less than 18 years old who suffer in silence grappling with what society believes should be a private and guarded matter. Dasra's upcoming report, "No Private Matter" aims to bring the issue of Domestic violence out in the open to help women get their right to a happy and healthy life

In earlier times, family violence was largely invisible. In recent In earlier times, family violence was largely invisible. In recent
decades there has been more recognition of the problems and study
of the causes and consequences. Nevertheless, family violence
remains hidden much of the time. The fact that it is hidden reflects the
fact that vulnerable populations do not have the ability to expose the
perpetrator or access effective help from the larger society.

As a form of direct violence, family violence involves deliberate injury to the
4
integrity of human life. This injury can be physical and/or psychological.
•Family violence can include restrictions on the activities, and even the
thoughts, of the victims, and actual physical constraints.
•Brutality includes battering and other forms of maltreatment, torture, rape,
etc.
•Homicide involve the illegal taking of a life.
•American society and other industrialized societies are patriarchal. In fact
patriarchy has been the norm for most societies. In earlier societies, the
patriarchal head of the household had tremendous power over the other
members of the family. For example, in British Common Law and in the
American colonies there was a “rule of thumb” which stated that a man could
not beat his wife with a stick whose circumference was larger than that of his
thumb. In fact, homicide was often an option and/or a reality. The
persistence of such practices as “honor killings” and female genital
mutilation reflect the persistence of this level of patriarchy in some societies
and families.
•Power implies inequality. To the extent that power and control form a part
of the self-concept of the head of the household or the breadwinner, we see
a tendency for that power to be abused, especially when the abuser feels
inadequate or when their power is threatened.
•Unequal power relationships reflect the norms and values of a society.
Ideas about the appropriate roles to play and the behaviors associated with
these roles result in the creation and perpetuation of relative powerlessness
in certain categories of the population. In addition, the victimization of such
categories tends to be invisible because they have little or not recourse
against the abusive behavior of the dominant member(s) of the family.

This abuse of power and control and the invisibility associated with it create
several particularly vulnerable populations, categories of people. Children several particularly vulnerable populations, categories of people. Children
are, of course, the most vulnerable. Human beings remain dependent upon
their caretakers for many years after their birth. They must have their
physical needs met and learn the skills necessary to function in human
society. They rely upon their caretakers to teach them the skills necessary
to form an identity and to define and explain the world around them. Social

Documentary about domestic violence, actually even verbal abuse that oppresses the delay,the psychological, or any type of contempt is considered violence!!!!
This phenomenon has little content in professional literature and on the internet, especially bullying by the female spouse. Domestic bullying occurs when a spouse engages in frequent criticism, threats, insults, emotional manipulation, demeaning language or bouts of anger, and is a major problem resulting in family and marriage breakdown, depression, homicide, suicide, addiction, homelessness, criminality and mental distress leading to cycles of abuse for the adult children of family bullying.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. A pattern of assaultive and coercive behaviors
in which an individual establishes and
maintains power and control over another
with whom he/she has an

threats, intimidation, isolations, violent acts
and other behaviors to establish and maintain
power and control which is the root of
domestic violence.
3. 1. Domestic violence occurs when a person commits one of the
following acts against or upon his spouse, former spouse, any other
person to whom he is related by blood or marriage, a person with
whom he is or was actually residing, a person with whom he has
had or is having a dating relationship, a person with whom he has a
child in common, the minor child of any of those persons, his minor
child or any person who has been appointed the custodian or legal
guardian for his minor child:
(a) A battery.
(b) An assault.
(c) Compelling the other by force or threat of force to perform an
act from which he has the right to refrain or to refrain from an act

Economic or Financial Abuse

6. Despite what many people believe,
domestic violence is not due to the
abuser’s loss of control over
his/her behavior.
In fact, violence is a deliberate
choice made by the abuser in
order to take control over his/her
partner.
Power and Control

become more violent and even fatal if she attempts to
leave.
-Their friends and family may not support them
leaving.

reduced financial circumstances.

with the manipulation, intimidation, and fear.

established power over you in many ways
•Leaving will require strategic planning and legal
intervention to avert separation violence and to safeguard
survivors and their children

affected in ways similar to children who are
physically abused.
• They are at a greater risk for abuse and neglect
if they live in a violent home.

likely to develop social, emotional, psychological

not the same as pressing charges.
Call the Counseling and Psychological Services (895-3627).
Do not blame yourself-you are the victim of a crime.
Do NOT bathe, shower, douche, or change clothes until you
have talked with the police or nurse. However, if you have
already done these things, please do not let his stop you from
seeking medical care. If you’ve changed clothes , place the
clothes you were wearing in a paper bag and them to the
hospital with you.
Remember you may have an advocate to help every step of
the way

Editor's Notes
Have someone read it aould
Just an idea of how comprehensive the law actually is – covers roommate situations for example
It’s not just a handprint, or even anything we see, it’s am emotional process
Not – “you should”, but “how can I help you reach your goal” “when is it safe for you?”
Don’t spend much time on this, just a breakdown of manifestations..
