Everyone talks about it, but little do people understand it can be far more than just physical abuse, nor do they see through the struggles that the victims are confronting. How are we going to resolve this altogether?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Building a family with your beloved sounds dreamy. But what if you come down to earth and realise this is actually a nightmare? What if you find out that you are enduring fear and distress every second you spend with your partner?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Your partner might have never hit you. But they might have relentlessly put you down because of your weight, or might have intentionally compared you to more \u201cattractive\u201d people to make you feel unworthy. They might have verbally threatened you. They might have checked your phone and had your bank account under full control without your permission.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">And when you call them out, they will always shake you off saying \u201cI care about you.\u201d or \u201cYou\u2019re delusional.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you\u2019ve checked\u00a0any of the\u00a0above, you might be a victim of abuse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cIt[Emotional abuse] can make us question our sanity and reality. It can dent our self-esteem and make us completely, utterly miserable,\u201d domestic abuse advisor Lauren Williams <a href=\"http:\/\/laurenjcwilliams.tumblr.com\/post\/148062572833\/emotionally-abusive-relationships-20-big-red\">wrote<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Like physical and sexual violence, emotional abuse is just one of the many forms that abuses can manifest in. Domestic abuse as a whole is even more monstrous. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Domestic-Violence-Awareness-Society-1751032198445172\/?fref=ts\">Domestic Violence Awareness Society<\/a> (DVAS) from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cardiffstudents.com\/activities\/society\/domviolenceawareness\/\">Cardiff University<\/a>, abuse occurs whenever it involves one partner excessively manipulates the life of the other. Some might be psychological rather than physical.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-19526\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/01\/Infographic-forms-of-domestic-abuse-new-625x1086.png\" alt=\"Infographic forms of domestic abuse new\" width=\"625\" height=\"1086\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-19526\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/01\/Infographic-forms-of-domestic-abuse-new-625x1086.png\" alt=\"Infographic forms of domestic abuse new\" width=\"625\" height=\"1086\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The adaptable forms of abuses could torture anyone without them noticing. The Crime Survey of England and Wales 2013\/14 published some alarming figures that one in four women in England and Wales would experience some sort of domestic violence at some point in their life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It is important to note that all kinds of abuses are not mutually exclusive, and more often than not they happen together. In such circumstance, victims should seek for advice immediately, instead of considering it as a taboo, according to DVAS.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">DVAS was founded last year by a group of female students, who were motivated by the frequent occurrence of domestic abuse incidents and decided to put them to an end. Although the group is rather in small in size with around 20 members, they are extremely dedicated to their work.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Having a great day selling cakes to raise awareness for our cause! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/cardiffSU?src=hash\">#cardiffSU<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/domesticviolenceawareness?src=hash\">#domesticviolenceawareness<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/dz9kZydYzN\">pic.twitter.com\/dz9kZydYzN<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 DVASCU (@DVASCARDIFF) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DVASCARDIFF\/status\/802149115161362432\">November 25, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">People question about this a lot &#8211; why is it difficult for victims to let it out and flee?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Not surprisingly, Lucy Edwards, one of the DVAS presidents, reckoned that embarrassment was one of the biggest obstacles. \u201cConsidering business figure <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-3909050\/Brexit-legal-challenger-claims-walked-EU-hating-ex-husband-physically-abused-says-left-alcoholic-cheater.html\">Gina Miller\u2019s<\/a> domestic abuse case, she didn\u2019t want to be look down on as she was a renowned businesswoman,\u201d Edwards said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">She continued, \u201cAnother reason was her ex-husband had a very gentleman image built, so no one would believe her. No one knew that behind closed doors he\u2019s a nasty piece of work. Why would someone believe that any nice man could be capable of such horrible thing?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">An abusive partner could use more emotional tactics, such as alienating their victim from their family and friends, so that they would feel completely alone eventually. A lot of times victims might not be aware until things become irreversible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Faulty government policy is problematic when women attempt to escape as well. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TamsinStirling1?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor\">Tamsin Stirling<\/a>, member of political force <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/WEPCardiff\/\">Women\u2019s Equality Party Cardiff<\/a> (WEP), asylum seekers or refugees are only entitled to funds if they are married to a local family. If they divorce, then they would end up having <a href=\"http:\/\/thewomensresourcecentre.org.uk\/our-work\/no-recourse-to-public-funds\/\"><span class=\"s2\">no recourse to public funds<\/span><\/a> and facing troubles to sustain a living.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThere\u2019s definitely an ethnicity perspective here, especially in Cardiff. Financial issue and access to children are of great concern when women are thinking about terminating the relationship,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cDomestic abuse is devastating but is still not taken as seriously as it should be,\u201d Stirling added, \u201cThe problem is always regarded as women\u2019s issue as opposed to an issue that impacts the entire social body.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In November 2016, WEP held its <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newstatesman.com\/politics\/feminism\/2016\/11\/first-women-s-equality-party-conference-was-more-personal-political\">first annual conference<\/a>, where young ladies courageously stood up and laid their horrendous experience bare in front of attendees. \u201cPeople know it[domestic abuse] in their head intellectually, but narrating your experience as a victim for others is always more powerful. It gets people to talk and think about it,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The first Women\u2019s Equality Party Conference was more personal than political <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/19Uep5e1rF\">https:\/\/t.co\/19Uep5e1rF<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 WEP Cardiff (@wepSouthWales) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/wepSouthWales\/status\/803895657287340032\">November 30, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Watch WEP&#8217;s leader Sophie Walker&#8217;s speech at the conference above.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Encouraging discussion, of course, constitutes a great part of raising awareness. Active promoting yet is complementary. Stirling noted the party was campaigning for changes top-down and bottom-up. While petitions could push change top-down, on the contrary, education in schools would be a good bottom-up start.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The trio from DVAS agreed that education played a vital role behind the physical representation of the issue since it targeted the attitudinal aspect particularly. Harriet Day, treasurer of DVAS, specifically highlighted that parenting was a very powerful agent, because parents set an example for their children. Worst of all, under constant exposure to violence, children could grow up becoming abusers themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Getting male involvement in tackling domestic abuse is also key to a way out. \u201cIt is important to educate guys how they should treat girls,\u201d said Daisy Swan-Capper, social media coordinator of the society, \u201cAnd the other way round too. Girls should not be taught to think it\u2019s alright to be manipulative by any means.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">They added that domestic abuse was not solely confined to women. People often assume their male equivalent is stronger so he\u00a0would be less affected. In fact,\u00a0men should realise they are entitled to complain about abuses as well. In effort to reinforce the importance of all gender\u2019s collective involvement, the committee has planned ahead to work hand-in-hand with sports teams on social media platforms towards raising men\u2019s awareness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-19507\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/01\/Infographic-domestic-abuse-against-male-and-female-in-England-Wales-625x959.jpeg\" alt=\"Infographic domestic abuse against male and female in England &amp; Wales\" width=\"625\" height=\"959\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-19507\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/01\/Infographic-domestic-abuse-against-male-and-female-in-England-Wales-625x959.jpeg\" alt=\"Infographic domestic abuse against male and female in England &amp; Wales\" width=\"625\" height=\"959\" \/><\/noscript><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Fortunately, masculinity finds its way into the issue on a country-wide level. Wales-based housing associations <a href=\"http:\/\/www.charterhousing.co.uk\/\">Chartered Housing<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bronafon.org.uk\/\">Bron Afon<\/a> teamed up to launch <a href=\"http:\/\/www.charterhousing.co.uk\/faqs\/we-are-the-aspirations-youth-team\/\">The Brother<\/a> project in 2015. Men aged between 16-25 come together in the name of this project to build positive attitudes to life and to alert youth, particularly young men, that domestic abuse can be equally dangerous for all genders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The project\u00a0has been very successful since it offered a unique male perspective, though\u00a0not without challenges. Gender stereotypes chained to culture could hardly be overcome. Samantha Howells, Community Developing Manager of Family and Young People of Chartered Housing, commented that the approach to women and men were very distinct.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Often men are less willing to engage in solving their problems and are reluctant to concede that they are in jeopardy. \u201cMen apt to find it more difficult to talk about their issues,\u201d Howells explained, \u201cThey have a stronger stigma to admit that they are suffering in this metro-culture.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">However, Tamsin Stirling remarked that combatting domestic abuse demanded cultural changes. It was always easier said than done to revolutionise inherit cultural perceptions. \u201cUntil we have more manpower across politics, companies and media, it is unlikely that we would make a huge amount of progress,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Watch below to learn how to escape from domestic abuse in one minute.<\/p>\n<p>Locate Welsh Women&#8217;s Aid Cardiff below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Domestic abuse puts countless individuals in danger without them knowing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":401,"featured_media":19562,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[767],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-19479","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-global-city","tag-refugees"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Domestic abuse tortures many people and cause them to suffer behind closed doors<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Domestic abuse is a crime behind closed doors to cause a lot of people to suffer, sometimes even without them noticing.
