On November 3, 2009, when we started discussing a series of articles about domestic violence, I got a crazy phone call from a patient who confirmed herself and asked if I had an X-ray facility in my hospital. I said no. She booked an appointment to see me. At the clinic, she complained that there were several pains in her upper left arm that made it difficult for her to lift her arms because she wanted X-rays to rule out fractures in affected limbs. She admitted that she had been beaten by her fiancé for a quarrel the night before. After receiving treatment and counseling, my parting phrase is "If this is the man you want to marry, think about it."
Domestic violence can be defined as violence in the family environment, where more powerful people use force to gain or maintain power and control intimate partners. Although domestic violence usually describes the relationship between husband and wife, it also includes child abuse and abuse of the elderly. Domestic violence is a long-term abuse of power that usually begins with years of intimidation and control and later becomes a pattern of attack or coercion that is currently living with the victim or dating or cohabiting with the employer. One party. It includes acts such as wife beatings, husband beatings, murder, manslaughter, reasonable killings, kidnappings, rape and forced sodomy, targeted attacks, forced stroking, robbery, simple and serious attacks. Domestic violence does not include actions taken in self-defense.
Domestic violence is globally universal and exists in developed countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States, all of which have laws against it. In developing countries, this practice is deeply rooted in many cultures, especially where the wife is seen as a husband's property. Acknowledging that domestic violence is a social problem, it has developed very slowly since the British common law once allowed a person to "punish" his wife with "any reasonable tool" until now that many developed countries are punishable crimes. In the United States, from 1800 to 1895, it was tolerated until women were allowed to divorce on the grounds of abuse. The 1994 Law on Violence against Women provides legal and financial support for law enforcement and social services to protect abused women.
In Nigeria, the government of Babaton de Fassora in La Paz in October 2009 provided a shelter for abused women; this shows that the government recognizes domestic violence as a growing social and public health problem. To date, only a few non-governmental organizations and religious organizations have been meeting the needs of abused women in Nigeria.
Data on domestic violence may be unbelievable; in the United States, women are more vulnerable, raped or killed than male partners by all other types of attackers. One in seven women went to the US doctor's office to have a history of ill-treatment partners; between 2% and 5% of women treated in hospital emergency rooms were injured by domestic violence, and one in four women who attempted suicide were ill-treated. Two times as many women reported that their husbands were attacked by strangers. For many countries, there are no records showing the severity of this issue.
Domestic violence must be addressed in all its aspects, as victims cannot tolerate suffering and the collateral damage of children in these families.
