With today’s society rationalized through time, Americans understand the current problem of sexual abuse and violence that is bound to happen in today’s society.

They are afraid that if the property owner is alerted of any fighting involving the tenant they could lose their home. This is a requirement of the public housing assistance program that women receive with low income called Section 8. These women do not want to report the violence against them because there are not many places to go, so they stay and, suffer the domestic violence. For the women who do have the courage and strength to report the crimes it can be difficult, they have to search for refuge in local homeless shelters for temporary shelter (NCVC, 2010).
