Many of the victims don’t admit to be ill-treated, given that most of the women consider the ill-treat like a inherent thing in the pair live.
The ill-treat to the women is a health social problem, that it requires an especial attention and an immediate treatment, given that the domestic violence is the 5% of the health problems of the woman.
The risk for some woman of to suffer physic, psychical or sexual ill-treat for her pair varies between the 15% and 75%.
The woman’s ill-treat is a problem that, as well as it can unleash psychical and psychiatrically illness, it has negative repercussions for the family.
The domestic violence inside the pairs is a very serious thing for two reasons, the first is because the man(usual aggressor) usually thinks that his wife(the victim) is possession his and that he can do something with she, although she doesn’t want it, and the second motive is that the woman usually thinks that the ill-treat is a normal thing(she thinks like he loves her) and when she knows that it isn’t usual she has fear to report.
The genre ill-treat is a big problem to that it is necessary to face, because every year many women die to hands of her husbands(62 women died during 2006).
