    Women often stay in abusive relationships for several reasons: fear for their safety and the safety of their children if they leave, financial dependence on their abuser, emotional manipulation by their abuser that wears down their ability to think clearly over time. Leaving an abusive situation can be an immense challenge due to psychological trauma, lack of support systems, and the real threat of escalating violence. Agencies that help protect women from violence include women's NGOs, religious organizations, government bodies, and law enforcement. It is important to educate young women on their rights and recognize potential signs of abusive behavior in partners to help address and prevent violence against women.

    Why Women Stay in Abusive

    Relationships?
    There are some intriguing questions why battered women still
    stay in spite of the abusive relationships.

    Some women who have been in terror because of terrifying


    relationship say it isn’t that easy because of the children, the financial
    and emotional bonds are difficult to break.

    One battered wife said “ I know when I took my marriage vows


    Many abusers can be charming, and abused women often fall in
    live with their softer sides.

    After the battering, the abuser listen to his partner, pays


    attention, buy flowers and become the ideal guy.

    “Whom God hath put together, lets no man put asunder.”


    This expression comes from the Bible, and appears in Matthew 19:6: So they are no longer two, but one
    flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
    Another reason is that a woman that loves her partner very
    much believes that his behavior will change

    A related problem is that abused women and their families often


    have nowhere to go (Mchugh, et al. 1993)

    Furthermore, there is ample evidence that trying to live in an


    abusive relationships may participate brutal attacks or murder.
    The repeated cycles wear women down until some are
    psychically and mentally exhausted that leaving the man is
    almost impossible. The man gradually and eventually
    control of the women’s psyche and destroys her ability to
    think clearly “ You can’t underestimate the terror and
    brainwashing that takes in battering relationships” She
    really comes to believe that she deserves the abuse.
    Violence against women isn’t cultural, it’s
    criminal. Equality cannot come eventually, It’s
    something we must fight for now. -Samantha
