The term "domestic violence" refers to violence committed against women and girls from one person to the victim's underwear, including cohabiting partner, and other members of the family group;
whether the harassment takes place inside or outside the home. It is thus a kind of violence that "all is accomplished 'inside of a couple relationship or kinship, however, that has as main feature the verbal and psychological violence, and where frequent beatings, threats and the imposition of the relationship sexual orientation. "
While acknowledging that there are other forms of violence to be considered (
no society can claim to be free: the only variation is in the forms and trends in the various countries or regions, as in violence against women exists in all countries , crosses all cultures, classes, ethnicities, levels di istruzione, di reddito e tutte le fasce di età) in questo articolo il termine si riferisce al tipo di relazione tra responsabile e vittima, piuttosto che al luogo in cui avviene la vessazione. Le mura domestiche, solitamente
luogo di protezione, dove le persone cercano amore, accoglienza, sicurezza e riparo, è invece un luogo che mette in pericolo la vita e produce alcune delle più drammatiche forme di violenza commesse sulle donne e
sulle bambine. Ad essere oggetto di violenze e maltrattamenti sono infatti queste due categorie che si ritrovano in una relazione che prevede uno squilibrio di potere, le quali partono da una posizione talvolta di svantaggio (le donne) e sicuramente di dipendenza (i bambini).
La violenza nell’ambiente home is usually the men who work with victims have or have had a relationship of trust, intimacy and power: husbands, boyfriends, fathers, stepfathers, brothers, uncles, sons or other relatives
and is often made man against the woman.
However, there are different types of violence:
or sexual violence (rape, attempted rape, harassment)
Ø physical violence (beatings, injuries, homicide)

or violence economic (deprivation of funds and resources). When

Let's see now in detail:
Physical violence: It is estimated that women who have experienced domestic violence are, according to the country, between 20 and 50 per cent. Everyone has their own physical boundary, represented by our skin. This border is very important also from the emotional point of view. Any encroachment that is not done with our consent, even if implemented by force, is a serious offense. Is defined as any physical act of physical violence, beatings, such as the slap, the injuries. While the consequences of physical violence
are more "visible" of psychological wounds, other forms of violence such as the repeated humiliation and the constant insults, forced isolation, the limitations of social mobility, the constant threats of violence and beatings, deprivation of their economic resources, are more subtle and insidious. The intangible nature of these forms of violence makes it more difficult to define and denounce, and often the woman is brought to a situation of instability and mental impotence.
and physical violence:
pushing, biting, kicking and beating his fists, being threatened with a weapon, to be forcibly kept awake, be shoved
SEXUAL VIOLENCE: The sexual harassment and rape by an intimate partner are not considered a crime in most countries of the world, and in many societies women do not consider forced sex as rape if they are married or cohabiting with him who imposes. The assumption is that once the woman is bound by a contract of marriage, the husband has the right to have unlimited sexual access to his wife. Surveys in many countries show that about 10-15 percent of women reported
be forced to have sex with intimate partners against their will. Sexual violence is defined as any physical gesture, visual, verbal or sexual violence experienced by a woman or a child who is at the very moment in which it occurs and after it, is seen as a threat, an 'invasion or an attack (thus a non-consenting) and which has the effect of hurting her or, humiliate or remove them / her the ability to control intimate contact.

The victims reported that the continued psychological violence, torture and emotional terror in the past life, it is often unbearable brutality of physical and mental stress causes high incidence of suicides and suicide attempts. In the U.S., 35-40 percent of women who were beaten at home tries to commit suicide. Psychological violence inflicted on women, sometimes with fatal outcome, is comparable to torture or as nature like gravity. May be inflicted intentionally, with regard to a specific
punishment, intimidation, and identity checks and behavior of women. Occurs in situations where the woman may seem to have the freedom to leave, but in reality
is held captive by the fear of further violence against herself and against her children, or by lack of resources or support from family , the community or by the legal system

Domestic violence against women is a strongly underestimated for various complex reasons of psychological and cultural. The family took yet another aspect of individual life of the people carrier, but also a social institution. Furthermore, shame and subjection, the psychological exhaustion and fear that permeate the lives of those who suffer violence, make it particularly difficult to obtain these phenomena. The admissions to the emergency room one another with claims of "falling down stairs, bruising, broken ribs, broken nose, but unfortunately she does not have the courage, the shame of being judged by others, feels that" esserselo deserved "and that after themselves if they were beaten ferociously is because it has not been able to calm the aggressor on time. Unfortunately it is difficult to come forward, it is difficult to declare that her partner is violent because the emotional ambivalence leads them to love and hate the same person, the same one that loves us and hurts at the same time. These aspects, but not limited to, are so that those who live or who they are known, often makes the mechanisms of denial to justify or minimize the seriousness of what is happening, unable to cope with the cognitive and emotional dissonance, and leaving all the most peaceful in the silence of their false safety or hopes to be the last time.
out of situations of violence is very complex, partly because most of the energy involved in trying to help out daily and is a widespread feeling that there is no chance that things will change and that if there is a problem is also fault of their own. Remember
NOT 'TRUE! There are many possibilities and many people who can help una persona a uscire da questo problema
