TWO MILLION WOMEN ARE BEATEN EVERY YEAR, ONE EVERY 16 SECONDS. WHO'S AT RISK, WHY DOES VIOLENCE ESCALATE-- AND WHEN SHOULD A WOMAN FEAR FOR HER LIFE ? Woman was made from the rib of man She was not created from is head~ to top him Nor from his feet~ to be stepped upon. She was made from his side~ to be equal to him From beneath his arm~ to be protected by him Near his heart~ to be loved by him. I found that poem during the last few months I spent with my husband. I though it was an appropriate way to begin my pages. Hello, my name is Sandra and I am a survivor of domestic violence and I have been striving to put together a few pages of information about domestic violence. First thing you must know is that: "Nobody" deserves to be abused.and that there "IS" a way out. These pages were purposely created for information on domestic violence and where one might seek help. I do not plan to go into details by hanging out my dirty laundry all over the internet. I'm just hoping to share helpful tips that I learned along my journey, as well as those I wished I had learned during my journey. I hope that you find something that might help you or even a friend that may be in need for more information about the crime itself or knowing where one might go for help.
