Woman rights and Domestic violence (Perspective①)

 【perspective①】Introduction to the Position of Victims in Domestic Violence

BBC News. (2025, June 24). ''I thought my abusive relationship were normalhttps://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c86jy6q1126o


This is written from the perspective of a victim of violence. It details the psychological state of a woman who has been victimized.


I have been a victim of domestic violence since I was a child and throughout my life. Because of this, I had low self-esteem. I felt worthless and even had suicidal thoughts.

I never noticed any signs that I was having a mental break until I had suicidal thoughts. The signs are very subtle. It may seem romantic, but if we don't learn about abuse it is really hard to understand.


In fact, I was a victim of not only physical violence but also economic abuse because I worked for my partner.

I would lose my job, money, and we have two children, so it was very difficult for me to leave here. But in reality I was always looked down upon by my husband. I couldn't live without him. I felt like I couldn't do anything without him. But this thinking was all wrong.


Eventually, I was able to escape through counseling. Through this experience, I recognized the importance of supporting women victims of domestic violence and founded a community interest company on this issue.


I am not an expert, but I have a passion for helping other women. We have helped hundreds of women since we started working again.


We know how important it is to have someone there for you when you are in pain because your partner has violated you.

    This is very moving and honest, showing the silent pain and isolation that many victims of domestic violence feel. It is powerful how you describe not only the physical abuse, but also the economic control and loss of self-worth that can happen. Many people do not realize how hard it is to recognize signs of emotional crisis or to escape such a situation, especially with children. It is inspiring that, through counseling and your own difficult journey, you now help other women. Your strength and willingness to support others is truly admirable and important, and I'm sure you have helped many women in the world.

woman rights and domestic violence

  Hello. My name is Sena and my name is Chiharu. I am a university student in Japan, and I am currently studying mainly English language and English literature in detail. We are deepening our discussion on women's rights and domestic violence. The reason why we decided to research this topic is because we believe that in our country, problems related to women's rights and incidents of domestic violence by men against women have been increasing in recent years. We would like to study in detail the current situation in Japan where women are still looked down upon and the psychology of those who commit violence against their loved ones. I would like to update my blog once a week. Please read it. How does domestic violence impact women’s efforts to achieve equal rights? Women who are victims of domestic violence live in constant fear, making it difficult for them to make positive choices about their own lives. This limits their opportunities for work, education, and political parti...
