In the ted talk that I listened to, it talked about why do women stay when they are in an abusive relationship. The woman in the video talks about her relationship and how she was a domestic abuse survivor and about her relationship at the beginning, and how her boyfriend seemed very nice and made it seem that she was the more dominant person. She also says that the very first stage of a domestic abuse relationship is to seduce and charm the victim, and the second stage is to isolate them. She also talks about the other stage of introducing violence to the person and seeing how they react to it. In the video she says that the reason why she and many other women don’t leave when they’re in an abusive relationship is because if they do leave them when the final step in an abusive relationship is to kill the person. She states that 70% of abuse murders are caused because of the women ending the relationship.
