To begin this essay, the definition of violence must be clear. Violence is the use of physical force to injure people or property. Violence may cause physical pain to those who experience it directly, as well as emotional distress to those who either experience or witness it. Individuals, families, schools, workplaces, communities, society, and the environment all are harmed by violence.
Violence is actually a very serious situation that can be seen all around the world. Violence includes:
•Physical (slapping,hitting, choking...)
•Sexual (rape, harassment...)
•Emotional (controlling behaviour)
•Economic (controlling finances)
•Stalking (repeated following, watching)
The statements mentioned before are problems that people have to face in their everyday life. Not only women and children face violence, men do too.
Many cases have been reported of sexual assaultment and one of those many cases was about a girl named Anita Lorraine Cobby. She was a 26 year old Australian nurse and beauty pageant winner who was kidnapped, sexually assaulted and then murdered while walking home after dining out with 2 of her hospital colleagues. Investigations led to the arrest of five men who were later convicted of her abduction, rape and murder.
Another case that has to do with man violence was when Lionel Richie’s ex-wife, Brenda Harvey, was arrested for spousal abuse in 1988 for besting Richie after catching him in bed with another woman.
The 2012 Delhi Gang Rape case involved a rape and fatal assault that occurred on 16 December 2012 in Munirka. The incident took place when a 23-year-old female, Jyoti Singh Pandey,was beaten, gang raped,, and tortured in a private bus in which she was traveling with her friend. There were six others in the bus, including the driver, all of whom raped the woman and beat her friend. Eleven days after the assault, she was transferred to a hospital in Singapore for emergency treatment but died from her injuries two days later.[
These 3 cases mentioned all happened in different countries.
Now child abuse, or child maltreatment is physical, sexual, or psychological maltreatment or neglect of a child or children, especially by a parent or other caregiver. Some parents take advantage of their children and change their minds into doing and obeying things that are not right at all. So do babysitters, they use physical violence on the child if they don’t do what they are told. There have been many cases filed of children abuse but not as much as women abuse since more men use violence on their partners than parents would on their own children. Some children are afraid to speak out when violence is being committed on them because they are afraid they’d make things worse, or sometimes they don’t know what to do about it and are threatened so they don’t speak up.
Violence is not nothing, it is a big deal since many people are dying from it all around the world. People should start doing something about it, or if they get to see any act of violence, they should call the police at least because if something happens to the victim, the person would feel guilty for not doing anything about it.
