Domestic Violence Survivors say Culture Needs to Change
In this article it discusses a case in which a former Doherty graduate student named Jennifer Nicolas-Francois got beaten by her boy friend. At first it wasn't an abusive relationship. The man would pamper Jennifer with gifts, shopping sprees, etc. It wasn't until one day Jennifer tried to give a home less man a dollar that her boyfriend called her the B word and slapped her. Another money incident came up in which she got beaten again. Jennifer would later get out of this abusive relationship. October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, designated in 1987. There is hope that it will lessen cases of domestic violence.
Domestic Violence is a problem that is not okay and no one should be involved or witness it. I don't understand why anyone would want to stay in a relationship in which they are being constantly abused. It gets worse when there are kids involved and they see one of their parents hitting the other. They grow up thinking it is okay and is part of a healthy and normal relationship. I am glad that October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. People need to be aware of domestic violence and put a stop to it. There are too many cases happening and it's disgusting.
