In the world of tomorrow, life has always been predicted as getting simpler and more advanced. And things like innovative technology and higher education have become requirements and necessary in order to survive. Even then, ignorance, a disease of the mind, still haunts people who believe that mistreating and harming their partners is something that is all right. These behaviors not only complicate either person's lives in various ways, but also show that they are moving backwards into the past instead of changing and understanding their mistakes.
Statistics show a high number of domestic violence victims on the well fare system. Brandwein, in his article, TANF and FAMILY VIOLENCE explains that some women on public assistance are on the program due to domestic violence. They need the aid to get out and away from their abusive partners. However, even when household violence hold a big threat to women and their well being they refuse to let the system TANF (Temporary Assistance to Needy Families) help. .
Abusive partners often will deny the approval of their wife working or getting educated due to the fact that they wouldn't want their wife's becoming self-reliant. .
These violent partners would go to the extent of beating their spouses before an interview, and or hiding keys. Moreover, if they do attain a job, often their partners would follow them, call them repeatedly or even threaten them and their co-workers. The widespread beatings would eventually lead to other concerns such as their long-term effects for example nervousness, depression, and mental problems also some immediate effects like disfigurement, blemishes, and headaches. .
Brandwein goes on to illustrate about the legal terms of the New York State TANF applicants must receive a screening where it is determined whether the battered women are results of an abusive relationship. TANF workers reports that a very few women have been identified as products of domestic violence, and many never report it.
