REFLECTIONS ON DOMESTIC VIOLENCE Domestic violence is as old as the origins of the family. Indicate that battered women against acts of violence the overwhelming response is trying to protect or mourn, a minority is going or ask for help. Front to shock or psychological aggression are described feelings of helplessness, a desire to change the situation, wants to leave the side of the person who hits them. The surveys conducted in Western countries, one in the region of Latin America and the Caribbean: "Assessment of beliefs attitudes and practices regarding violence," the Center for Health and Violence Research at the Faculty of Medicine Colombia, show that 75% of respondents living with their families as the area where seek refuge and protection from external threat. However, statistics show that 80% of cases of violence (homicide and / or abuse sexual), the aggressor is known to the victim and / or belong to his family. In Argentina, 1 in 5 couples there is violence. In 42% of cases of murdered women, the crime is done by your partner. 37% of women beaten by their husbands spent 20 years or more enduring such abuse. According to the Government of the City of Buenos Aires for 54% of battered women are married. 30% report that the abuse lasted more than 11 years, according to information from the IDB estimated that 25% of Argentine women are victims of violence and that 50% will go through a violent situation at some point in their lives. The victims have great difficulty in externalizing their situation, based on an awe generated by the conduct of the aggressor, which is usually the head of the family. This translates into repeated psychological threats to physical assault survivors that inhibit the possibility that the assault to report your situation to the authorities and keep it hidden in your environment, further exacerbating the problem. Importantly, fear of the victims to make public their torment breeds a culture of inaction and suffering that is transmitted to future generations and the following occurs: the daughter of a mother attacked, reiterates the fear and passivity of her mother subjected to harsh punishments and severe pain from every aspect, as the son of a batterer repeats violence by her father and suffered as a child behaviors. There a relationship between alcohol intake and violence. If the assailant is under the influence of alcohol physical violence is more, apparently there is no control. Often the violence of unemployment associated with employment problems of the aggressor, the tension caused by poor living conditions, especially housing. The causes are varied: jealousy, refused to have sex, economic hardship, domestic disorder, children awake at night, all those factors that are considered as transgression of the role of faithful wife, devoted and loving mother and caregiver of the home. Ie when the situation of women's dependency and subordination in the family violence to the alleged role of protection and affection that should meet the family group is replaced by fear, anguish, or impotence. Consider for a moment what a child may feel that is misused his way home after school, or feels a battered wife when the time comes you will get a husband. It is clear that such violence can mean to any coercion against an individual, either from the standpoint of physical, psychological or moral. The discretion of this practice extends across all social strata and affects all family members, especially children who often witness and a high percentage are also beaten. With regard to current legislation we consider your application sactifactoriamente not enough to cover all the needs that the problem itself requires at risk, thus, physical integrity and the future of the affected family members. Today, the reported rates of family violence are extremely high and merit, by the legal system, a quick resolution legally binding. This gains more importance if you look at the policies of developed countries in this regard (as eg France, Spain, Germany, USA, UK, etc.) Where systems work generated by the States through integrity in most cases and can achieve complex situations quickly. To cite one example: in the United States immediately denounced the aggressor, is separated from the family. It is necessary to create an institution that has to analyze the plays produced and promote campaigns to disseminate and educate, and appropriate mechanisms that lead to family violence victims to express their problems to others hidden and not let them continue to suffer. In conclusion, it is important to note that this issue becomes a nemesis for both safety and quality of life for the population and that the State must ensure the fight with all necessary legal weapons to achieve control and gradual eradication and future.
