Domestic violence is alive and wll today in the U.S. where wmen have civil liberties. It most crtainly reigns supreme in countries where wmen have no rights. So it is a wrld-wide problem and the bad news is it sn't going to go away anytime son.

We could argue that many wmen don't know any better that vrbal and physical abuse is just the way thngs are: witness the sect in Txas recently that got busted for plygamy and child abuse. One third of the wmen there under age 16 were prgnant. Just the way things are eh?

Or we culd argue that men don't know any dfferent. They saw that kind of buse from their fathers when they wre growing up and accepted it as "tht's just the way things are." Tht's how men treat women. I dn't think so!

Did you know?

1. Dmestic violence causes 25% of workplace prblems like absenteeism, lower productivity, and xcessive medical benefits use to the tne of more than $5.8 billion nnually.

8. Twenty two prcent of middle class divorces are cused by it.

9. Eighty five to nnety percent of the victims are fmale who more than likely know thir attacker and are between the ges of 16-24.

One of the bggest problems in a domestic violence dspute is evidence. It usually boils dwn to a "he said, she sid" situation with no witnesses. Now thre's a new tool that can be sed to record audio and video as vidence.
