I was reviewing The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence about us page and one of their highlighted topics stood out to me. This is quoted from the NCADV website :
"NCADV is devoted to the elimination of domestic violence in urban and rural areas, across all racial, religious and economic groups. NCADV identifies and works to eradicate the social conditions that perpetuate or condone domestic violence such as sexism, ageism, heterosexism, and able-bodyism and easy access to guns."
I feel as though this is an unrealistic goal. Now, laws could become stricter and abusers actually get punished for their actions rather than victims be continuously abused by the system over and over again. Eliminate domestic violence though!? Not possible! I mean I have a dream where children are not abused, murders don't exist and everyone lives in peace and harmony, but thats why it is a dream. Realistically, abusers are here to stay, just like murders and pedophiles but I hope that one of these days the justice system will change and really make these sick individuals suffer for the pain they cause, because it is something that will affect the victims for the rest of their lives.
I just wish a huge organization like the NCADV would stick to the more realistic goals rather than what they think victims want to hear.
