In long-term relationships, it is hard for a couple to separate, even when the male in the relationship is being abusive towards his partner being the female because the female is simply scared of the consequences, also, in the journal ‘Female domestic violence victims ' experiences of hospital care’ it states that “Several women chose not to disclose the domestic violence because their partner was present whilst being questioned by the health care professional” Gasser, H. I. (2008). Female domestic violence victims ' experiences of hospital care--a literature review. P295., In my opinion, I don’t think any partner should be in the same room as the abused individual because there could be a lot of missing information if the suspect is present during the questioning about the assault. While the victim being, the female is being questioned about the assault she could possibly be scared mentally while the health care professional is asking her questions because the person who abused her is watching her at the same time, I believe that when the abused individual is in the room as the health care professional and the abuser is not, the victim of the domestic violence can tell the truth about what really happened and justice could be served, there were a lot of cases where the spouse simply didn’t say anything because they were scared of the consequences because for one if the abuser finds out most likely they will abuse the victim even

According to The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, an organization whose mission is to envision a national culture in which we are all safe, empowered and free from domestic violence, in a single day in 2019, Michigan domestic violence programs provided services to 3,204 adult and child survivors. Another 376 requests for services went unmet due to lack of resources. This shows how lack of resources can damage peoples stability, and it is outrageous to think that these things are something unfixable so close to home. Another statistic from The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence says that in 2019, 57,018 incidents of domestic violence were reported to Michigan police, and many others went unreported. These are extreme numbers and to think that more cases of this that are unable to be resolved due to lack of resources and protection is simply

It is never fair to ask “Why will she not she leave?”. A victim can be defined as “an individual who has been confronted, attacked or violated by a perceived predator, resulting in short or long term physical and/ or mental injuries as a result.” (Burgess, Regehr & Roberts, 2012, p. 10). All of the women were victims to ongoing abuse by their partners and were at constant risk for revictimization. This further grasps the term of intimate partner violence which overarches what type of situations, these women were exposed to (Burgess et al., 2012, p. 290)

1. Domestic violence is one of the most underreported crimes in the United States for the fact that victims are not sure the true extent of domestic violence or the mere fact that they need the abuser, financially or socially. First of all, the media needs to gain the trust of the victim and their family members—trust is essential to reporting the story. The media needs to ensure that they do not victim blame—meaning that they do not make excuses for the abuser, i.e. she was making him mad, it was self-defense, this was their first offence, etc. Linda Osmundson, the Executive Director of CASA offers some key advice to journalists: • Focus on the abuser and not so much about the victim for staying with their abuser • Do not re-victimize the victim by blaming them • Alcohol and drug use is involved but do not allow alcohol to become an excuse • Abuse is a world view, not a disease 2.
