  Violence toward women will always hit close to home. It is true that everyone at least knows one woman this has happened to. I am not the exception, I never like to talk about it to poeple I don't know and especially not on the internet for the whole world to know but i just know if certain happenings had not happened I would not be the person I am today. I just don't understand why violence against women is a major issue still today the patriarchy is just getting stronger and stronger. Yes we do have programs that help women and children that were beaten or raped but  this doesn't solve the actual problem. This problem goes way back to someones upbringing and nowadays parents spend less time with their children because of financial neccessities and other circumstances, what does this say about the future adults in our society that are highly influenced by violent video games and television? I think violence against women is going to get worse as we progress if we do not stand up and say something about it. Women usually do not want to say andything about spousal abuse because they are afraid of the consiquences that their spouse will face. Also immidiate action is not taken by police enforcment when a spousal violence arises, yes they might take them to jail to stay overnight but what is to say about the next day. The spouse is going to have a vengence toward the other spouse and may lead to seriouse injuries or death. this is where the government is slacking and women are as well. We need to realize that once a spouse starts  beating or battering us we need to find a way out as quickly as possible before it leads to the worst. Yes some women do get out of it but others do not because they are scared. We just have to increase our own self value in order to accomplish a healthy lifestyle.
