Stop
Women Abuse!
Hello, this is IGL and this post is about women abuse. Around the world, abuse has happened
to everybody before. We all know that women have a more likely chance to
getting abused my others because of their weakness. In many cases, women are
violated sexually or physically against their will.
We all most likely know what rape is.
Rape is when a person is forced to have sex with another person against their
will. Usually, it happens to females but it could also happen to boys (usually
when they are children). The rapist can be a male or a female, even though a
homosexual rape towards women is very rare. Rainn.org states that most rape
victims are under the age of thirty and that only 3% percent of rapists are put
in jail for their crime. That is an outrageous percentage. Rape is something
that nobody should have to go through. Consequences of rape include a high risk
of substance abuse, such as alcohol or drugs to take away depression of the
past event. You could also receive an STD and/or become pregnant. Victims may
also become traumatized and gets insomnia or trouble sleeping. Worse of all,
victims may resort to suicide. Whatever you do, prevent a person from suicide
or prevent yourself from suicide. If you get raped, call the police immediately
and call a sexual assault hotline as quick as possible. If you know someone
else who has been raped, do not be judgmental and recommend a sexual assault
hotline.
To avoid rape, follow these steps.
- · Be aware of your location and the people around you.
- · Avoid places with few or no people at all.
- · Be confident when you walk, even if you don’t know where you’re going.
- · Trust your instincts.

Domestic violence is when a partner in
a relationship abuses the other partner physically, sexually, or emotionally.
Usually it is when the male abuses the female, but in some cases the
wife/girlfriend is the one putting it on. Domestic violence affects the health
of the partner, causing broken trust. If a partner is forcing you to have sex
or forcing you to get pregnant, it is best to consult with a doctor secretly to
get birth control methods without him knowing. To leave an abusive
relationship, always seek shelter and bring a phone with you. Don’t make it
obvious that you need help and don’t go anywhere alone. Keep your privacy and
don’t share anything out loud to someone or online.
