And so on. It is hard to help victims of spousal abuse because it\u2019s often a hard situation to bring up. You do not want to intrude, embarrass the victim, or even be wrong about the situation. I can say that went for our friend group for X and Y, we always just let them argue and then hope that they would be over it soon. That was definitely the wrong way to go about it, but I\u2019m hoping (but absolutely not hoping!) that if I am ever in a situation of witnessing any type of intimate partner or spousal abuse, that I can bring myself to help the victim in the best way that the victim needs.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n\u00a0There are many websites that can help others to identify domestic abuse, and also brings attention to just how often it occurs. One example is the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, which shows the domestic abuse statistics as a national statistic, but also breaks down state statistics. For Georgia you can see below:<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nDOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN GEORGIA<\/span><\/p>\n
- \n
- 37.4% of Georgia women and 30.4% of Georgia men experience intimate partner physical violence, sexual violence and\/or stalking in their lifetimes.<\/span>1<\/span><\/li>\n
- In 2019, Georgia domestic violence programs answered 52,282 crisis calls.<\/span>2<\/span><\/li>\n
- Georgia domestic violence shelters provided shelter to 7,214 victims of domestic violence in FY 2019. An<\/span>additional 4,176 were turned away due to lack of bed space.<\/span>3<\/span><\/li>\n
- In 2017, there were 149 domestic violence-related fatalities. 70% of those involved firearms.<\/span>4<\/span><\/li>\n
- In 2017, Georgia had the 10<\/span>th <\/span>highest rate in the US of women murdered by men.<\/span>5<\/span><\/li>\n
- As of December 31, 2019, Georgia had submitted one misdemeanor domestic violence and no active<\/span>protective order records to the NICS Index.<\/span>6<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
(NCADV)<\/p>\n
My wish is that with resources like this available, victims can get the support and help that they need, along with the hope of lowering those statistics.<\/p>\n
