Gender can be reintroduced into the discourse by including quotes & statistics that reflect the disproportionate threat women face from men in their lives, or simply by using language that reflect it, such as 'male violence against women' instead of the non-gendered violence against women." (Marriner, 11) Marriner decries the job performed by the media where this is concerned, arguing that though these are all factors which have a contextualizing impact on the pattern of violence perpetrated by men against women, most media reflections are only invoked in the face of culminating events such as murder
Drawing a connection to other incidences of similar nature, Walton relates that "this year, a 22-year-old Boston man became known as the "Craigslist killer' after he was charged with killing a woman and robbing another, both of whom advertised their services on Craigslist." (Walton, 1) This article does a suitable though concise service to the issue by indicating that there is a connection between the nature of the crime being reported and others such as the case of the Craigslist killer

S. Justice Department reports that "…one in three Native women is raped over her lifetime," and the sad part is many Native females are "too demoralized to report rape" (Erdrich, 2013)

Senator Joe Biden, and first passed in the Congress and signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1994. The legislation was the initial major federal approach to try and to something about what journalist Kate Pickert calls "…the scourge of domestic violence" (Pickert, 2013, p
Not one single Democrat voted against VAWA. That said, it should be noted that six Republican Senators -- Mike Crapo (Idaho); Mark Kirk (Illinois); Lisa Murkowski (Alaska); Olympia Snow (Maine); Susan Collins (Maine); and Scott Brown of Massachusetts were co-sponsors of the newly updated legislation (Serwer, 2012)

Domestic abuse and violence cannot be localized to any particular part of the world since it is common all over the world. Men have always been taking out their frustrations on women, be it their wife, mother, daughter or sister (Cunningham, 2000)
It should be noted here that although all sorts of violence against women are common in all parts of the world, some particular kinds of violence are location specific. Political and democratic governments have taken a number of steps all over the world and have passed bills to protect the rights of women, but somehow these have not been enough to completely eradicate this evil from the face of the earth (Gerstenfeld, 2013)
However, many countries of the world have been successful in overcoming this grave issue of the society and the women have been giving the same status as their male counterparts, but there are yet some areas of the world where women are still being treated as objects and animals just because they are women. It would not be wrong to say that gender discrimination is the main cause of all the violence that women today and have always been subjected to (Maffly, 2009)
While many people in the country, especially women rights' activists, want sexual harassment to come under the act of violence, other stakeholders believe that it is in fact gender discrimination. The first argument that is given to support the aforementioned statement is that it is mostly women that are subjected to sexual harassment and there are barely any cases that have been reported in which any man was sexually harassed (McCann, 2005)
There are some parts of Pakistan where the literacy rate is very low and here the men of the society treat women no less than animals. There have been thousands of reported cases of honor killing in the region (Niaz, 2003)
Dealing with Victims' Shelter Requirements Among the most crucial requirements for sufferers of domestic as well as sexual abuse is shelter. Traditionally, beaten females had been expected to go away from their houses as well as their neighborhoods to acquire protection (Goldfarb, 2008)
Even though some emergency housing exists for beaten women, they're not suitable for or even accessible to each and every prey of intimate companion abuse. They merely offer a short-term remedy and frequently need the occupants to take part in counseling as well as other tasks which not all survivors are prepared for or wish to do (Olsen, 2007)
Migrant Victims and their Protections The framework as well as terms of VAWA discloses Congressional intention to offer protection as well as assistance to any or all sufferers of abuse towards women offences and acknowledged the distinctive problems experiencing beaten immigrant females looking for security by offering brand new legal rights for undocumented migrants who encounter immigration-related threats as well as abuse coming from their batterers if and when they do something to improve their security. VAWA resolved the distinctive requirements of this group of sufferers by making visa self-petitioning legal rights for undocumented people whose resident or limited permanent resident (LPR) partners or families have subjected these individuals to battering or intense harshness and whose removal would lead to intense difficulty (Orloff and Kaguyutan, 2001)
