Hypotheses on violence against women: Is society doing enough to stop domestic violence against women? Society is NOT doing enough to stop domestic violence against women because approximately one in two women every year still suffers abuse (sexual violence/rape, beatings/physical violence, emotional/verbal abuse, stalking, sexual harassment, human trafficking , etc.) Although there is greater awareness than in decades past regarding the prevention of violence against women, crime continues in society today. Domestic violence is when spouses, intimate partners, or dates use physical violence, sexual abuse, threats, emotional abuse, harassment, or stalking to control their partners' behavior, they are committing domestic violence. Anyone can be a victim of domestic violence; education, wealth, height, size, physical ability and status do not matter. Types of domestic violence frequently used against women include: Sexual violence/rapeSexual violence is defined as any type of sexual activity between two or more people in which one of the people is involved against his or her will. The sexual activity involved in an assault may include various experiences (e.g., touching, types of sexual intercourse, penetration with an object). The force used by the aggressor can be physical (physical force, violence, etc.) or non-physical. (bribed, threatened, manipulated, etc.) and most women are forced or forced to have sexual intercourse with someone who has authority over them, while some women may not be able to give their consent because they are under the effect of drugs and/or alcohol. Rape is a crime of sexual violence that causes long-term emotional devastation in its victims and is a criminal act of violence that uses sex... middle of paper... for their crime indefinitely rather than temporarily and be kept non-anonymous so that their potential victims are not potential victims. Law and law enforcement must take this important issue more seriously and not simply "brush it away." Education is generally necessary to stop violence against women altogether; People today, especially children, need to learn about human rights, women's rights and gender equality as soon as possible and stop media and social stereotypes of women (who are seen as weak and as promiscuous sexual objects). Men in particular should be taught to respect women. and feel they have to be aggressive and dominant towards women to be society's "perfect man". If this is put into practice, the statistics will radically change for the better, crimes against women will decrease significantly every year until in the future no women will be abused in any way..
