DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN THE WEST


At a time when the hostile media is incessant in its attempts to defame and ridicule Islam and the muslim woman and to portray her as oppressed, abused and worthless, the following facts should be enough to prove that the non-muslim nations are more
worthy of the accusations they throw at others.
 

THE FACTS

* Domestic Violence accounts for a quarter of all reported violent crime.
[Working Party Report, Victim Support, 1992]

* Each year 100,000 women seek treatment in London for violent injuries caused in their homes.
[Punching Judy, BBC TV Documentary, 1989]

* Domestic Violence is not limited to physical assault. It includes sexual abuse and mental cruelty which undermine a woman's self-esteem.
[McGibbon and Kelly, "Abuse of Women in the Home", 1989]

* Research conducted by Police found that 2/3 of all men believed that they would respond violently to their partners in certain situations.
[Islington Council, 1994]

* Almost half of all murders of women are killings by current or former partners.
[National Working Party Report on Domestic Violence, Victim Support, 1992]
