My topic is about domestic violence. The reason why I chose this topic was because there are a lot of women that are in an abusive relationship but they are too afraid to speak up about it. Women are the most common to be in an abusive relationship but men can also be in an abusive relationship. There are a lot of women that are abused that don't want to speak up about it because they are afraid. But women need to know that is better to speak up than to keep it a secret. Somethings about my topic is that there are different ways that domestic violence can occur. The most common is physical abuse, but there is also sexual abuse, emotional abuse, economic abuse, and psychological abuse. Back then domestic violence was not consider as a political issue. But throughout the years things have changed. Now if you are in an abusive relationship you can go to the authorities and handle the situation. Some women are still afraid to say that they are in an abusive relationship but a lot of women are speaking up now. There are centers that can help you out when you are in an abusive relationship.
