What We Don't Know About Domestic Violence Can Kill Us

Domestic violence is a serious issue that can have devastating consequences. In the United States, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner. That's more than 10 million people every year. And these are just the reported cases. The actual number of people who experience domestic violence is likely much higher.

Domestic violence can take many forms, including physical, sexual, emotional, and financial abuse. It can happen to anyone, regardless of age, race, gender, or sexual orientation. And it can happen in any type of relationship, whether it's a marriage, a dating relationship, or a cohabiting relationship.

One of the most dangerous things about domestic violence is that it often goes unrecognized. This is because victims of domestic violence are often ashamed to talk about what they're going through. They may fear retaliation from their abuser, or they may simply not know how to get help.

The lack of knowledge about domestic violence can put us all at risk. If we don't know the signs of domestic violence, we may not be able to help someone who is being abused. And if we don't know how to get help for domestic violence, we may not be able to protect ourselves or our loved ones.

There are a number of things we need to learn about domestic violence in order to keep ourselves and our loved ones safe. We need to know:

• The signs of domestic violence
• The different types of domestic violence
• The impact of domestic violence on victims
• The resources available to help victims of domestic violence

We also need to challenge the myths and stereotypes about domestic violence. We need to understand that domestic violence is not a private matter. It is a crime. And it is never the victim's fault.

If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, there is help available. You can call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233). You can also visit the website of the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence at www.ncadv.org.

Domestic violence is a serious issue, but it is one that we can overcome. By educating ourselves about domestic violence, we can help to prevent it from happening in the first place. And we can help to protect ourselves and our loved ones from its devastating consequences.
