Violence Against African-American Women

African-American women continue to be sorely in need of an anti-rape to have this matter changed. According to the 2010 U.S. Census, 13.6% of the population self-identified as African-American (Rastogi, Johnson, Hoeffel, & Drewery, 2011). African-American women reported substantial rates of criminal and sexual victimization, including rape and violence. Specifically, 18.8% of African-American women in the National Violence Against Women Survey and 22% of African-American women in the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey reported a lifetime rape (Rastogi, Johnson, Hoeffel, & Drewery, 2011). These prevalence rates translate to an estimated 3.1 million African-American rape victims. There is a substantial treaty of diversity
When women are trapped in violent marriages, abused, and overly under the control of their husbands, that consider a violence against women. I feel like the differences found in these cultural factors as mentioned above effects of socioeconomic variables, such as neighborhood disadvantage and low education and employment status, particularly for the perpetrators of violence against Filipino and African-American women. In addition, racial discrimination towards African-American men may lead to lessen access to resources and circumstances, causing tension and violence among African-American men. As an opinion, community and cultural context of violence between cultures especially African-American men have adopted alternative ways of utilizing their “manhood” because the traditional methods have been unreachable for them—establishing manhood includes violence.

As an example, differentiating between “good” and “bad” touch, learning how to express feelings, and to ask for help
I chose to write about violence against African-American because of what I see in today’s society providing an excellent example of how power and cultural forces can corrupt. This has been difficult for me to witness, and has highlighted on a broader level that numerous barriers women face in their quest for equality. It makes me feel like violence against women is only a major problem in our society if it makes powerful men look substandard their career expectations. Violence is associated with certain behaviors and part of our culture. This means that it is still part of, rape, rape jokes, and street persecution. Furthermore, the experiences of the violence growing up plays a major role, yet so does a culture that continually blames the victim. Personally, I think women are physically and sexually violated by men because of the decisions certain men make, and the cultural powers that enable this kind of violence to run uncontrolled. The role of culture and power is substantially obvious when evaluated through the lens of race. When examining violence through the lens of race, it becomes evident that non-white individuals are most likely to experience violence than other race. Particularly, African-American women experience high rates of violence. What becomes clear to me is that women do not gain power through passively acquiring the existing state of matters. The
