62. Reason and Diversity of Survivors of domestic violence, open until Dec for Everyone, whichaddresses violence in samesex relationships and against men by female http://reason.com/cy/cy111202.shtml

November 12, 2002 Manhandled Recognizing men abused by women By Cathy Young This year in Massachusetts, there was something different about the vigil for victims of domestic homicides held in October for Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Three of the 15 names on the placards belonged to men slain by their female partners. In previous years, all the victims whose deaths were commemorated were female. The willingness to recognize male victims of violence by women may mark the beginnings of a change in societal perceptions of domestic abuse. In the same month, a conference on male victims of abuse held by the Battered Men's Helpline in Portland, Maine, received positive coverage in the local media. Also in Portland, a photography exhibit by victim advocate Donna Galuzzo, "A Celebration of Surviving: Celebrating the Strength, Success and Diversity of Survivors of Domestic Violence," open until Dec. 6, features photographs of gay men and lesbians who have been abused by their partners, as well as women battered by men (though not of men abused by women). Nationwide, a group called Stop Abuse for Everyone, which addresses violence in same-sex relationships and against men by female partners, has been gaining recognition in the victim advocacy community. It would seem that broadening outreach to a more diverse group of victims should be an unequivocally good thing for those concerned with domestic violence. But that's not the way many advocates see it. Nancy Scannell, legislative director of Jane Doe Inc., a Massachusetts-based domestic violence coalition, has told

New: ready 22 May s earch this site powered by FreeFind Domestic violence ... are you a victim? Violence in the home is a crime we are all becoming more aware of each year. In the UK a quarter of all reported violent crimes are domestic. In the US the estimate of the number ranges from 960,000 incidents of violence against a current or former partner to four million each year. But domestic violence is also a world-wide problem. What is violence - or abuse? It is about power, and this can be about controlling a partner by either physical or emotional abuse. It is rarely a one-off event. There are also many different forms of abuse, and physical attack is only one of them. Perhaps most of us think of a black eye or broken arm, but sex can be used as a way of dominating a partner. So can ridicule. So can control of family finance. So, too, can shouting and screaming. Does your partner accuse you of all manner of ‘crimes’? These may even be everyday events, such as looking out of the car window to look at other men or talking for too long to friends and family on the telephone! Jealousy is a formidable spur for many attacks. Do you feel under threat of violence? Have you been on the receiving end of a violent attack? Do you have to ‘account’ for time spent away from home? Does emotional or verbal abuse play a part in your relationship?

VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN IN THE UNITED STATES MURDER . Every day four women die in this country as a result of domestic violence, the euphemism for murders and assaults by husbands and boyfriends. That's approximately 1,400 women a year, according to the FBI. The number of women who have been murdered by their intimate partners is greater than the number of soldiers killed in the Vietnam War. BATTERING . Although only 572,000 reports of assault by intimates are officially reported to federal officials each year, the most conservative estimates indicate two to four million women of all races and classes are battered each year. At least 170,000 of those violent incidents are serious enough to require hospitalization, emergency room care or a doctor's attention. SEXUAL ASSAULT . Every year approximately 132,000 women report that they have been victims of rape or attempted rape, and more than half of them knew their attackers. It's estimated that two to six times that many women are raped, but do not report it. Every year 1.2 million women are forcibly raped by their current or former male partners, some more than once. THE TARGETS . Women are 10 times more likely than men to be victimized by an intimate. Young women, women who are separated, divorced or single, low- income women and African-American women are disproportionately victims of assault and rape. Domestic violence rates are five times higher among families below poverty levels, and severe spouse abuse is twice as likely to be committed by unemployed men as by those working full time. Violent attacks on lesbians and gay men have become two to three times more common than they were prior to 1988.

When we do decide and act on that decision, violence against women will end.

In early 2000, BIPP was reconceptualized as the Men's Nonviolence Project. As BIPP our primary activities were centered around service provision, that is, technical assistance, training and monitoring the local programs that worked with batterers. The MNP project still offers these services, but has widened its view to encompass the understanding that intervention groups for identified domestic violence offenders by themselves will never stop violence against women. In our first two years, we have made a good start on the work of addressing the social problem of men's violence. Here are some of our accomplishments:

Domestic Violence exists everywhere. It exists all over the world and within all cultures, communities and religious groups. As the webmaster of "Islam - The Modern Religion", I have created this section, with the help of God, so as to address domestic violence within Muslim communities in particular This is not to say that I believe domestic violence is a problem only in Muslim communities and nowhere else. A woman is beaten up every 9 seconds in America. To see what is going on in your own backyard, please see Domestic Violence in the West. As a Muslim, it's my responsiblity to first address the problems within Muslim community. As a religion and way of life, Islam offers the most priviledges to the woman and her rights as a human being equal to man Therefore, regardless of the ubiquitous nature of DV, Muslim men should be the LAST people on this earth to commit such a horrid act. They have NO excuse to abuse their wives. There are two categories of guilty people when it comes to domestic violence in Muslim homes. 1. The ones who inflict the physical and mental abuse. In most cases, the father and husband.
