How to define domestic violence
March 1, 2016
The mainland's anti-domestic violence law came into effect
The Civil Code of the People's Republic of China, which will be implemented in 2021, will also
Domestic violence is prohibited
As a prohibition on marriage and family
Clearly written into the Code
Anti-Domestic Violence Law of the People's Republic of China
Domestic violence is clearly indicated
is between family members
beating, binding, mutilating, or restricting personal freedom
and regular verbal abuse, intimidation, etc
Physical, mental, or other acts of aggression committed
Economic control
Prohibition of the partner from earning money, financial deprivation, and strict restrictions on one spouse's consumption lead to mental stress and fear.
Mental abuse
Insulting, belittling, humiliating, intimidating, deliberately damaging something that is important to the other party.
threat
Threats to harm individuals, children, family members, or pets.
Activity monitoring
Don't allow people to use their phones, restrict them from contacting friends, track them, etc.
Cold violence
Treat family members coldly and bring mental pressure to each other.
Sexual Violence
Forced sexual intercourse against one's will, or other acts of a sexual nature.
caution
Due to the physiological differences between men and women such as body size and physical strength, in many exposed domestic violence incidents, the victims of domestic violence are usually women. But that doesn't mean men aren't victims of domestic violence.
Domestic violence does not only occur between partners, parents beating their children are also domestic violence.
Simply
Form of violence = physical + mental
Protected group = family members + other people living together
Correct understanding of domestic violence
1. Domestic violence is often recurring: There is a honeymoon period of domestic violence, and the abuser repents and apologizes verbally or behaviorally to obtain forgiveness until the next cycle of violence arrives.
2. Domestic violence also has "intergenerational inheritance": children growing up in a violent environment for a long time may form an intergenerational inheritance of domestic violence.
3. Domestic violence is more common than expected: Surveys show that 24.7% of women have experienced domestic violence in their marriage.
4. Escaping domestic violence is not easy: After a long period of violence, the victim will be psychologically paralyzed, and they will realize from countless beatings that they are powerless to stop their partner from committing violence.
5. Social pressure makes it more difficult to escape from domestic violence: "divorce is embarrassing", "children do not have a complete home", etc., are all subjective reasons why abused people cannot do without.
6. Domestic violence is not the victim's fault: The real cause of domestic violence is only if the abuser wants to control the other half from all aspects, and no fault can be a reason to be beaten.
In the face of domestic violence, take up legal weapons
1. Gather evidence
Provide domestic violence support resources. For example: medical records, text and phone records, photos and videos, physical evidence of items that have been smashed, testimony of relatives and friends, etc.
2. Call the hotline
In addition, there are also some public interest service agencies and aid lawyers in the society that can provide legal advice and assistance to victims of domestic violence, such as the country's first public welfare mini-program for anti-domestic violence assistance, "Domestic Violence Assistance".
3. Ask for help nearby
If the situation is urgent, remember to run to the neighbor's house first and ask them for help or call the police. They can also report or seek help from their own units, neighborhood committees, villagers' committees, women's federations, and police stations.
4. Apply to the court for a personal safety protection order
In the event of domestic violence, an application may be made to the people's court for a personal safety protection order, and the scope of protection of the personal safety protection order includes the applicant and his or her relevant close relatives, and when necessary, they may apply on behalf of the other party.
First, the warning letter issued by the public security organ mainly targets minor domestic violence that is not sufficient to impose public security administrative punishment, and second, the personal safety protection order issued by the people's court can prevent and stop the perpetrator from committing violence again.
5. Seek temporary asylum
Bring important items, money, ID cards, driver's licenses, etc., and look for a place to stay in advance. You can also go to a temporary shelter set up by the government to get temporary living help.
Learn to identify people who are prone to domestic violence
1. People with poor emotional control may have a tendency to domestic violence
These people will lose their temper at the slightest trivial matter, and even tremble with anger, and if they have a certain impulsiveness, they are likely to commit violence.
Some people have poor control, which is caused by abnormal brain structure, for example, after the average person drinks alcohol, it will lead to a decrease in brain control under the influence of alcohol, while some people do not have the influence of alcohol and have poor control.
In the early stage of dating with your partner, you can observe and find ways to understand the other person's family, and if the family member has violent behavior, you should be vigilant.
2. People who are more controlling may also have a tendency to domestic violence
These people have a strong desire to control their subordinates and colleagues at work, and if they do not act according to their ideas, they may lose their temper and ask to do it again. At home, this type of person may have a strong desire to control some details, and if they do not do what he asks, they may act impulsively.
In the early stages of a relationship, if the other person has a strong desire to control the details of life such as clothing, or asks you not to have contact with the opposite sex, you should be wary.
3. People who are more suspicious and sensitive may have a tendency to domestic violence
Some normal contact between the opposite sex may be "cheating" in the eyes of people with strong suspicion. For example, if you chat with someone for a while, the other party will ask how long they have been chatting, what they have talked about, and they will look through their mobile phones and even track them. These sensitive and suspicious people are full of insecurities about the relationship, and many of their partner's behaviors can cause them to be unhappy, which can lead to violent behavior.
4. From the point of view of the disease
People with impulsive personality disorder, antisocial personality disorder, bipolar disorder, and paranoid mental disorder are also more likely to commit violence. It is important to note that people with behavioural disorders due to alcohol dependence are also more likely to commit violence. Because long-term drinking can lead to a weakening of control, personality changes, and becoming very impulsive, which makes people prone to violence.
