effects on women
poor quality of life
Powerless and incompetent to engage in productive activities, like jobs and other ordinary social activities (Beegle 21) depression and feelings of exhaustion leave many feeling like they have no option but suicide.
Women who have experienced trauma symptoms of domestic violence often harm themselves, which lessens the quality of their lives in every aspect and that of their children (Humphreys 90).
Additionally, association substance use, sexual and reproductive health concerns, mental health problems, and self-rated health decline have been shown to be results of domestic violence.
mental illness:
its not all physical
Mental illnesses are serious and often underestimated. These mental diseases leave a painful burden to carry in addition to the frequent physical burdens women have to carry from being abused.
Many women suffer from chronic anxiety, long-lasting bouts of depression and post-traumatic stress disorders (Effects of Violence Against Women 78).
"Mental illnesses and other negative psychological influences, aid the oppressor’s ability to control his victim"
Impoverishment, lack of knowledge and education; violent events regularly and randomly experienced, bouts of anxiety and extreme levels of depression leave their victims unresponsive for their unwillingness to take action to find solutions.
