Why have people stopped talking about abuse? It doesn’t only happen to women but happens to men as well. This is something that happens all around the world. Nobody should have to go through something so traumatizing.
During this I want to focus most on women. Over a third of American women get abused everyday. This can cause women to never be the same after a while. For example, it can lead to serious injuries, gynecological problems, depression, and even suicide. This is something that doesn’t only happen to women but to children as well, and it can be even worse on those children when they get older. Sometimes for a child going through something as traumatic as that, it can cause that child to have long term mental issues as well as physical problems.
In India alone, there are up to 8,000 women. In Pakistan there are up to 5,000 women and children. In Afghanistan there are up to 6,400 women and children. The list goes on and on as time goes by. There is always someone you might be close to that you don’t even notice. There are so many reports on domestic violence in the U.S in 2021 that it is ridiculous how nobody has really been talking about it anymore.
If there is anyone you know or think is going through it, speak out. They could be dealing with something serious. Never stay quiet. Always speak out, staying quiet never helps anyone or anything. Do not be afraid.
When I was writing this piece I was thinking about how women all over the world do not have a voice and they need to be heard. There are serious things going on in the world and nobody really pays attention to it. I would like to be that voice.
