Domestic Violence

Domestic violence is a form of sexual violence and is abuse committed against someone who is a current or former spouse, current or former cohabitant, 与施虐者有孩子的人, someone with whom the abuser has or had a dating or engagement relationship, or a person similarly situated under Washington domestic or family violence law.

Cohabitant means two unrelated persons living together for a substantial period of time, 导致某种永久的关系. 可能决定人们是否同居的因素包括, but are not limited to, (1) sexual relations between the parties while sharing the same living quarters, (二)收入或者费用的分成, (三)共同使用或者共有财产, (四)当事人是否认为自己是夫妻, (5)关系的连续性, (6)关系的长短.

真相:人们对攻击的反应各不相同. Just because you didn’t resist physically doesn’t mean it wasn’t rape. Many victims make the good judgment that physical resistance would cause the attacker to become more violent.

事实:酒精和毒品不是借口,也不是不在场证明. Regardless of whether you were drunk or sober, if the sex is non-consensual, it is rape. 强迫一个喝得烂醉的人做爱 consent (合法醉酒)在大多数州被视为犯罪. Rape is a crime. People who commit crimes while under the influence of alcohol or drugs are not considered free from guilt.

Fact: Rape can occur when the offender and the victim have a pre-existing relationship (sometimes called “date rape” or “acquaintance rape”). 如果这一次不是双方自愿的,那就是强奸.

Fact: Since rape is life-threatening and each rapist has their own pattern, the best thing a victim can do is follow their own instincts and observe any cues from the rapist. 如果受害者活着逃脱,他们的行为是正确的.

Fact: Research has found that the vast majority of rapes are planned. 强奸是强奸犯一个人的责任. Opportunity is the most important factor determining when a given rapist will rape.

Fact: A national study reported that 29% of women and 22% of men had at some point been victims of physical, sexual, 或者心理上的亲密伴侣暴力. Every year in the U.S.美国有80多万名男性和100多万名女性.5 million women experience sexual or domestic violence at the hands of an intimate partner. It is also a myth that domestic violence happens only in lower-income families. In fact, domestic violence occurs with people of all economic and ethnic backgrounds.

真相:虐待有很多种, including physical, sexual, verbal, psychological, and emotional. 并不是所有的虐待都会导致身体伤害. If a person repeatedly hurts you, scares you, humiliates you, or belittles you, it is still abuse. Many abusers will also try to control your choices and your finances, 将你与朋友和家人隔离, or become excessively controlling by insisting on knowing where you are at all times. 这些都是虐待的例子.

Fact: Alcohol and drug use does not cause domestic violence, even though it often accompanies it. The abuser is still responsible for his/her actions and exhibit abusive behavior even without alcohol or drug use.

事实:家庭暴力不仅仅是身体上的虐待. Other controlling behaviors, such as intimidation, controlling decisions, and isolation of the victim, 是虐待的组成部分吗. The abuser wants to gain control in many ways, and those are done intentionally.

真相:家庭暴力包括多种形式的虐待, including physical, sexual, verbal, psychological, and emotional. Sexual abuses can include sexual assault, harassment, or exploitation. Domestic violence occurs when the abuser wants to control the victim. 性虐待是施加这种控制的另一种方法.

Fact: Men are the victims of domestic abuse almost as often as women are. 研究表明,每47名被虐待的女性中, 至少有32名男子受到虐待.
