And as we mentioned, our topic today is domestic violence. And it's an issue that is of grave concern to this and many communities across the country, certainly as we've gathered a number of individuals here with us who are going to help us both understand the problem itself, as well as those who are the victims and the ones who caused the pain. First with us is Fatima Wilson, who is the coordinator of shelter coordinator at the housing group. That is Dr. Colin Phillips, who is a group leader with the MATTERS program at the House. A group next to him is Tracy Brown, who's director of the domestic violence Unit of the state attorney's office. And next is Reneé Dorsey, who is a paralegal in the legal clinic at the house.

Let me just ask from perceptions of news articles and reports on the air, it appears that domestic violence incidences are increasing not only in our own area but across the country. Is that accurate? Well, probably what's happening is that more reporting is being done. Domestic violence is probably one of the most, if not the most underreported crime in the nation right now. And so I think because people's consciousness have been raised about the issues, some of the issues involved with domestic violence, that, yeah, more people are reporting that it's happening to them. How is that playing out both in the courts as well as the civil areas in terms of the nature of the crime? Is the crime changed much? Are we seeing anything different? Is it more violent? I don't know that the crime has changed. I think that more people are coming into the system because the system is beginning to be perceived as something that's going to be helpful to them. And it's only been in recent years that the system has started counting domestic violence cases, identified them as domestic related, as opposed to stranger assaults. In the state attorney's office, our unit prosecutes about 3000 cases a year, and that's only in some portions of the city. We don't cover the whole city. Well, let's clarify what was the role of domestic violence? What are we talking about? We're just talking about spousal abuse or what? Okay. Basically, when you talk talk about domestic violence, you're talking about a relationship between two individuals who may be married. They don't necessarily have to be married, married, intimate relationships where people are experiencing physical abuse, psychological abuse. There may be destruction to property, personal property and pets.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/89602/file/185559#t=258.269,359.04"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/89602/file/185559/transcript/47239/annotation/3","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"There may be sexual abuse, there may be marital rape between men and women, between couples who are not heterosexual. There's all kinds of domestic violence going on between in intimate relationships. So basically that's what we're talking about In the other forms I've been hearing lately, even about psychological abuse. Well, is that played out? Psychological abuse is probably the most insidious type of abuse that a person can experience in a relationship, because it's something sometimes it's hard to name it. It may be name calling. A woman may be suffering all kinds of mental anguish and degradation as a result of being abused from her partner. She does not or he doesn't. He does not always have to be hit. Most people think in terms of domestic violence as punching and in hitting, but a lot of psychological abuse goes on and you can almost not have psychological abuse if you're being physically abused. Yeah, that's a there's a whole range of tactics that menus and and the intimate relationships that Fatuma is talking about. Psychological abuse is one of the the most effective tactics that is used in order to achieve the ends that that the men have in order to, you know, to get their way and to to meet their needs, which is which is really where men are coming from when they, you know, when they turn on their partners like this. Now we know that generally speaking, it is the man who is the abuser or the batterer, and it's the woman who is the abuser. Absolutely. Generally, but not always. Now, let me ask you, what then is the provocation for abuse on the part of the man? Is it about controlling the mate or is it an indication of lack of control of the batterer? No, it's not lack of control.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/89602/file/185559#t=359.61,471.63"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/89602/file/185559/transcript/47239/annotation/4","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"It's it's the the need and the desire to control that, mate. One of the things that we focus on most of all and stress most of all with the men that we work with is that you are not out of control when you are violent with your women. You're very much in control. It's very intentional. It's often very carefully planned. You know, these are not men who go berserk. These are men who who by and large know what they're doing and do it intentionally in order to control the women and to maintain control through, you know, through various tactics. But what does this control in the House mean that maybe. There is frustration outside of the house and thereby limited control and power elsewhere. And so they transferred at least they dominated somewhere. It's it's directed towards the partner usually. But something very important to note about domestic violence is that it degrades and it demeans her. And that is why a great number of cases just are unreported because it's just so humiliating and it's a great deal of shame that's involved in it. What's what's the picture of the quote unquote, typical victim of domestic domestic violence? How long has has it going on? What was the final straw that made them finally come forward and seek out? I don't think there's a typical victim. Okay. There's so many different prototypes of what a victim is. I think basically what we're talking about is a woman who has lost all of her self esteem in many cases. Well, I think we all people are fairly aware of the fact now that domestic violence happens in all types of families, all races of people all across the country. So, again, there's not a typical picture of what a domestic, what a victim looks like.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/89602/file/185559#t=472.68,579.87"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/89602/file/185559/transcript/47239/annotation/5","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"But certainly one of the things we have to talk about is a woman having lost her esteem, Usually what will bring her to us or to an agency that can help her is that she has gotten so beaten and so bogged down emotionally that she can't take it anymore. Lots of times women will be talking about suicide. They'll be talking about maybe hurting their partners, just ending it all and they can't see. The bigger picture at that point is when they come to us, sometimes the reason why they come into the legal or the criminal justice system is because they've tried all of the other avenues they know on their own. They've told him to stop hurting. Her family has done that, and they're looking for somebody else outside of themselves, somebody with authority to say, you're not allowed to do this. Many women don't necessarily want to end their relationship. They just want to end the violence. Now, there is a cycle, isn't it? A cycle of domestic violence. Sometimes it starts slowly and then it gradually builds. Then there is the I'm sorry, I did it to you and I won't do it again. Tell us about that cycle of violence that generally takes place. Well, there is considered to be a three phase cycle. One is the tension building stage, and usually a woman will get some indication from her partner that he's getting to the point where he will hit four different families. It manifests itself in different ways. Then you have the actual battering that takes place where a woman will be hit, kick, punch. A weapon will be used to hurt her. And then there's what we call the honeymoon period. That's when the initial phase of violence is over.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/89602/file/185559#t=580.38,665.97"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/89602/file/185559/transcript/47239/annotation/6","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"And there is a lot of I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it. I won't do it again. The woman is persuaded or actually even threatened to the point where she feels that she can't leave the situation and she feels like she'll try again and this will repeat itself and will repeat itself and absolutely will continue to repeat itself. And the thing that we have found is that the violence almost always escalates. It doesn't get it gets worse as time goes. Okay, we're going to dig deeper and we have to take a break right now. But there's a lot more to cover. So please stay with us. We'll be right back. Our topic today is domestic violence. It is an issue of concern to all of us. We'll continue our discussion now. We were talking about the cycle of violence that just simply repeats itself after the honeymoon phase of it. What kinds of tactics, Colin, are used during either this cycle or during the battering period? I think one of the things that people really need to understand about domestic violence is that the physical violence, however terrifying and terrible it is, is only part of what the woman goes through and what she lives with on a day to day basis. We've discovered basically because of things that women have told us what she lives with, there's a whole series of tactics of abuse that many use in order to maintain their control in the home. And so one of the things that the cycle does is, although it's a helpful tool for understanding it, it doesn't it doesn't get at the the range of abuse that the woman experiences. And what are some of those tactics? There's a whole series of some intimidation.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/89602/file/185559#t=666.69,842.97"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/89602/file/185559/transcript/47239/annotation/7","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"I may never you know, the man the man may never need to actually hit the woman in order to maintain control. If they can intimidate us sufficiently, threatening her, threatening to take away the children, you know, threatening to leave her penniless, all kinds of economic abuse, sexual abuse, including marital rape. We know that marital rape is an epidemic, that you know, that we haven't even begun to really get at. Psychological abuse, emotional abuse. We've already spoken a little bit about that. There's a whole range of tactics like this. And physical violence we find is, as it were, the final weapon that the man has available to him. If the other things don't work, then he's going to beat her. Is it basically that before it becomes a criminal matter, it must reach the stage of physical violence? That's correct. There must be some kind of a touching or a threat to do some kind of harm. And once reaches that point, often the the the victim goes back after an initial settlement. Why? Why can't they make that break to get away until this situation is in hand? Well, often when the victims are provided with support and information from the system, they in fact, don't go back on their desire to prosecute but continue to be cooperative with prosecution. I think what happens during the honeymoon phase that was mentioned is that there's that no commitment to the relationship. The bedroom makes a promise never to do it again. She then sometimes feels guilty for bringing the system into her, into their lives. And so then sometimes she becomes uncooperative. We try to keep her cooperative with the system to communicate both to her and to the assailant that domestic violence is a crime.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/89602/file/185559#t=844.95,948.21"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/89602/file/185559/transcript/47239/annotation/8","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"I read somewhere that it's considered a felony. Some kinds may be a felony. Others are misdemeanors, which is a lower level. I recall a similar statistic where the the inequity involved was that it had the same violence taking place against a stranger would be a felony, whereas in most cases, most jurisdictions, it's considered a misdemeanor. Right. It's a matter of charging that in many jurisdictions, things that would be charged as a felony if it were strangers were actually charged as misdemeanors when it's domestic. Now, from your experiences in your counseling of of victims, why would a woman stay so long, being demeaned, abused, either physically, sexually or psychologically? Why would a woman stay? It's it's really important to note that in the honeymoon phase, he's acting the way she wants him to act. Now, he's being very apologetic. He's buying her flowers. He'll he's promising to go to counseling. He'll say he'll never do it again. And he's acting just the way she wants him to act. So she's she's acting like well, she's thinking that, okay, it's going to be better now. And that's what he's telling her. So that's why she stays. That's I think that's a very important part of the cycle, because that's that that's the phase that makes her stay into the relationship. But it's repeated, you say, and it's repeated. But why stay? I think one of the things that we must and lose sight of is that people go into relationships basically because they care and love about each other, love each other. And one of the things Tracy said is that they want intervention for the violence to stop. We don't advocate that women leave their spouses or their partners. We advocate that they be safe. And there are many other factors, economic factors.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/89602/file/185559#t=949.74,1055.73"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/89602/file/185559/transcript/47239/annotation/9","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"There's family pressures, the society pressures.

And then if she doesn't have the family support, if she doesn't have the support she needs from society, maybe. In terms of housing or economics, then she has no other choice but to go back into the situation and hope that it will change. Okay.

Did did you recognize afterwards that you were doing physical harm to someone who could not, uh, I guess, protect themselves from you? Yeah, that that came to mind, you know, but doing during the abuse, when abuse was taking place, you know, that's what brings you to that control. You're looking for control.

Initially, well, I was ordered by the daughter to in the house was I'm in there now. This is my second step. This time I volunteered to attend the house move. And basically what happens in a group, you get a group of men to sit down and they talk of what brought them to their abusive situations and trying to look at all the rules you could take, you know, around abuse in your home situations. As a result of the counseling. David, what have you learned about yourself that that perhaps made you respond to your mate the way you did prior to counseling? What did you learn about yourself? Well, I learned that what was basically causing me to abuse the woman is the way I was looking at women. I was belittling women, you know, And when you belittle someone, you tend to not respect their personal respect that they deserved as an individual. And that's what happened, was that as you look back, even over your childhood, was that perhaps the kind of environment that you came under and you saw that in your own home? No, Basically the thing I can reflect the most about my upbringing is that can relate to my situation is the fact that I grew up, you know, feeling inferior myself and in a situation and you lose control of the relationship, you get those and further feelings and the only thing like you're losing control and the only thing to control that is to resort to abuse physically or emotionally.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/89602/file/185559#t=1584.12,1714.09"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/89602/file/185559/transcript/47239/annotation/13","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Yes. Well, let me ask whether or not there is a correlation between age and the nature and severity and frequency of abuse. Are we seeing a lot of it among young, younger couples? Is it pretty even to age groups or is there any correlation that has been identified in the legal clinic? We do a great deal of telephone advocacy and we also do legal representation. I've talked to women as young as 19 and then we have clients in sixties and seventies, in their eighties. So there's really no age discrimination situation about this. Yeah, but most of them fall between 20 and 40. I think some of the questions are who comes to the who comes to the system for help? Who would call the House of Ruth, who has those resources? I wanted to just pick up a little bit on what David said. You remember David, you were saying a few moments ago about how you had tended to belittle women? One of the things that we find that's most fundamental to all of our clients, all of our male clients and batterers program is the use of male privilege, which is a very powerful, powerful tactic, male privilege in our society. As you know, it's something that men feel entitled to. And, you know, the sense that women that women are there essentially to meet the needs of men. And I think we find in general that this is something that all of our men tend to be very invested in. You know, that the man is the head of the household and the woman is there to cook and to clean and to meet his needs.

Well, for me, I'm like, right now I'm rebuilding my self esteem, which I lost my pride in a lot of things that I got lost during the years that I'm trying to regain and counseling is helping me do that. Let me ask you as well, Susan, when you went to the house of Ruth, what did you find there that perhaps gave you the comfort that you needed to know that you were in a safe haven? Just the word safe. What what was the House of Ruth like for you, having left your home with your children and gone there? What was it like? What did you find? I found women in the same position, other women in the same position, you know, different roles, but they're basically in the same position. It had occurred before. At some point in your life, did you feel that perhaps you were all alone, alone in that? No, I never did, because I have been seeing violence ever since I was a child. You know, not with my mother and father, but my sisters and brothers. Relationships between each other's friends. Okay. Let me ask you, Fatma, I asked Susan what she found at the house of Ruth that would have given her the sense of being of finding a safe haven. What do you offer to the women who come there, either as alone or with children? Okay, First and foremost, our agenda is to provide a safe haven for women and children, and that's what we do best.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/89602/file/185559#t=1829.89,1941.0"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/89602/file/185559/transcript/47239/annotation/15","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"We advocate for women in the court systems. And Rene can talk a little bit more about that. We advocate with women for housing. Whatever a woman says she needs, we try to direct her in that situation and get that connection for her. One of the things that we do offer is counseling to women who abuse. We offer group counseling and we offer individual counseling. The first thing we want to do is to meet the immediate need to make her feel safe, make she and her children feel comfortable, and then everything else we build on. Many times women come in and they're so devastated they may not even talk for a couple of days. They may not even tell you what they want. Many, many instances, women come in and they want to reestablish themselves in new housing. And that's one of the things we work real hard with women around reestablishing themselves. If women need to be referred to outside resources, we do that. We keep woman initially for 21 days. We do have a transition period. If a woman is a good candidate for our transitional housing, she will move into transitional housing so she can initially stay for 21 days and then it's decided later on by the staff if she will be kept in transitional. We're going to find out a little bit more about the house, but we do have to take another commercial break. So hold on for just a second. We'll continue our discussion. Stay with us. We're continuing our discussion on domestic violence. And before we run out of time, we need to talk about the impact of domestic violence on the children and the environment and then what you do at the House of Ruth that helps the children to get over it.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/89602/file/185559#t=1942.92,2124.57"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/89602/file/185559/transcript/47239/annotation/16","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Okay. Well, of course, if a child is in a situation where there's a lot of chaos going on, emotional or physical abuse going on, it will impact upon the child. What we are seeing with children who are coming to the shelter is that many times are having inappropriate acting out behavior. In many instances, a very high instance. Children are being sexually abused along this whole area, an issue we're talking about control. Many times the control filters down into the children, and the children are being physically and or sexually abused. What we do at the House of Ruth of Children is that we have a children's program that tries to focus on the needs of the child while the child and shelter make the necessary referrals to get the child get the help that the child needs. We do have a children's counselor. We do have play therapy. We have a beautiful play area for the children where they are safe from harm's way also. And we also have a situation with the community school where the children are allowed to go to that school until their mothers have decided what they want to do. So a child need not be out of school because he or she is in shelter. Okay. Now, a recurring theme that that has been mentioned at least three times that I can recall is safe, which means someone has fear. Tell us a little bit about that fear. Tell us a little bit about the safety that what women need to do to be safe. Well, usually we get a lot of calls from women who have just recently been abused. And what we do is we tell them that they can go to the district court in their area and they can apply for a protection order.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/89602/file/185559#t=2125.26,2216.79"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/89602/file/185559/transcript/47239/annotation/17","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"And basically what that order does is it orders the abuser to refrain from further abuse. Sometimes it stops the violence, sometimes it doesn't. He can she can file contempt charges against him if he violates that order. And that order is last for an indefinite period of time. So that can be very useful. You know, she can go back with him in that order is still in effect. Is there aren't there times when taking it as far as calling the police and then going to court can also incite the batterer to do even more horrendous things? I think that that's a really important issue, and that's one of the things that keeps women a lot of times from going into the system. There's no doubt that the intervention of an outside system is going to cause a crisis. I think that the better at that point will be the most extreme of any behavior is going to be either his most violent or his most apologetic. But what it's important for women to see is past the short term risks of doing that to the long term benefit of taking some kind of action and communicating to him, getting the system to communicate that she's not going to tolerate it anymore. And I think fear is one of the main reasons why women don't leave that fear that if they do, the repercussions are going to be worse. He may have told her, If you ever leave, I'm going to kill you. I know where you're going. And the reality is that she doesn't have very many safe places to go. And along those same lines, many times women have left the situation, are still being harassed and they're still being the targets of abuse. So people like to think that, you know, the first thing that comes to a person's mind, why didn't she leave? Well, first of all, she doesn't leave because she's afraid of the physical repercussions.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/89602/file/185559#t=2217.15,2312.07"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/89602/file/185559/transcript/47239/annotation/18","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"And second of all, many, many times women do leave and they are still harassed and they are still physically abused.

Let's hear a little bit more about your advocacy program and how detailed is it and what are the things that you offer and actually help the women to go through? Okay. Basically what we do is we have legal advocates that will go in and advocate for women in court. And what we do is we prep her for testimony, we explain the proceedings to her. If the defendant has opposing counsel, we tell her what he will probably ask her and what the judge needs to hear. Additionally, we offer criminal court advocacy where we also accompany her to criminal court, and we will talk to the state's attorney and let the state's attorney know that this is serious. A lot of times it's put on a state docket. We're going to push again with the stats docket. A step doc is basically when the case is put on hold and if he abuses her, then she can contact the state's attorney's office and they can put the case back in court. That rarely happens. We want some type of conviction. We want it to go before a judge and with a state docket, that doesn't happen.

They can if if he's harassing them over the telephone, you know, they can get telephone harassment against him. We do restraining orders, a lot of time ordering the abuser to stay away from her home or from her workplace or wherever she is. That works a lot of times. I think also that probably something I need to say when a woman is in counseling at the house of birth, one of the first things we do with her is to sit down and work out a safety plan with her. What are you going to do in the event this happens again? And the reality is that women fairly much have a gauge for when the violence is going to start before it starts. So we sit down and work out, individualize, step by step where I'm going to put this away. I'm going to take this to a neighbor's house. I'm going to get all my important papers together. I'm going to have this extra set of keys, this little bit of money or however much money a woman will need so that she won't feel so isolated and alone when it happens again and that she can get out and be safe and have some kind of resources. Many times women come to shelter, no shoes on the clothes on their backs. So we try to work out a plan for them.

Are there any signs that a woman can look for a spouse? I don't want to put this strictly male against females, especially in an instance where there may be a listener right now in an environment that is injurious to her health. What would you say to a woman? Well, what I would like to say to her is that she's not alone and that there is help. She needs to pick up the telephone. She needs to call the House truth hotline and speak with a counselor and we can get her help. We may not be able to bring her into shelter immediately. We could refer to another shelter, but we can talk to her to reassure her that there is something that can be done. I think that the most important thing for a women, a woman to know, is what she can do. And most women don't know what they do. They only know what their husbands tell them when they call the house of Ruth. We give them options and we tell them everything that's available to them. That's all they need is that information, and they can make a decision as to what they want to do. So part of it is the woman's regaining her own self esteem and her own control over her life. Women are looking to empower into women. That's that sounds like a general community concern, doesn't it? Empowerment of women. Any parting words from you?
