JOYCE'S INTERVIEW ON GERALDO CONCERNING RIHANNA, CHRIS BROWN AND DOMESTIC ABUSE Although many women have moved from the backroom to the boardroom, there are still inequities when it comes to their relationships. Along with the employment gains women have made, there are still remarkably high numbers of women, rich or poor who choose to remain in relationships where domestic violence is prevalent. I was asked basically the same question by Geraldo Rivera. He posed it in relation to how I would counsel Rihana, a high-profile victim of domestic abuse inflicted upon her by her celebrity boyfriend, Chris Brown. Before I answer the question, let me share some statistics from my recently published book, “How To Get To The Palace From Your Prison: Joseph’s 14-Step Program to Overcome Loneliness, Depression, Discrimination, Barrenness, & Abuse” Estimates range from 960,000 incidents of violence against a current or former spouse, boyfriend, or girlfriend per year, to three million women who are physically abused by their husband or boyfriend per year. Around the world, at least one in every three women has been beaten, coerced into sex ,or otherwise abused during her lifetime. Nearly one-third of American women (31 percent) report being physically or sexually abused by a husband or boyfriend at some point in their lives, according to a 1998 Commonwealth Fund survey. Women are seven to 14 times more likely than men to report suffering severe physical assaults from an intimate partner. The health-related costs of rape, physical assault, stalking, and homicide by intimate partners exceed five point eight billion dollars each year (CDC study). On average, more than three women are murdered by their husbands or boyfriends in this country every day. In 2000, 1,247 women were killed by an intimate partner. The same year, 440 men were killed by an intimate partner. In a nutshell, from my experience women, rich or poor, remain in abusive situations typically because of low self-esteem, fear, conditioning, exposure as a child to domestic or child abuse in the home, poverty or the inability to financially provide for themselves and their offspring. The key to solving the problem of domestic abuse is multifaceted. Providing housing, employment, and food will not make the problem go away. This is clearly evident in the fact that domestic abuse does not discriminate and is found all over the world regardless of income, race or class. Please note that domestic violence is also found among lesbian and gay couples. The approach to solving domestic violence will take the cooperative effort of first of all the couple, who must acknowledge that there is a problem and they must be willing to seek help. If they chose to stay together, not only does the victim need help, but also the abuser, who often suffered abuse at the hands of a parent or someone in authority over them at some point in their life. It is said that it takes a village to raise a family. To end domestic violence we will need all the resources that a village can offer to come together and work side by side- family, relatives, friends, police, school, counseling agencies, the church, government and legislation to end this dysfunctional behavior that is eroding the fabric and stability of families and relationships all over the world. Let's put and end to domestic violence against men, women and children today! Any ideas on how we can get started? Let me hear from you. © C. Joyce Farrar-Rosemon 2009 You Can Be A Winner At Life! C.

Great blogtalk radio show on Religion's Relevance. I used to attend pentecostal churches, but after two bad experiences I don't attend them anymore. I do go to church, but I'm no longer eager to take an active role. I warm the pews and give offerings as I feel led to do so. Here's some preventive measures: Read & Study the Word to show thyself approved for yourself. Pray and confess God's Word regularly. If you can, don't get personal with anyone--- treat people in the church like a job --- professional and cordial. Don't discuss personal things with anyone. It's best to take things to the Lord in prayer or if one has a spouse who is a believer --- confess to him one's faults and take it to the Lord in prayer. Don't try to know the Pastor or his/her family personally. KEEP YOUR DISTANCE AT ALL COSTS. Tagged by Jen Fad on 03/08/2010 |

Hi Joyce:
If you're in the New York City area, let me know. I'd love to support your work with women by sharing some powerful stories about women who've overcome huge obstacles in their lives and made a difference in the lives of others. They're in my book "Soldiers of Uncommon Valor: the History of Salvationists of African Descent in the United States." I wrote this book so that readers would say, "Wow! I never knew that!" I've personally been thrilled by people who've read it and have told me that they "couldn't put it down." I designed it so that people of color who read it will feel proud and never again doubt their place in history or their potential to make a difference in the future. If you want to take a look at it, just click the link below for articles, reviews, and information on how to order.
Take care and keep up the great work!
