Domestic Violence is defined as:
A "pattern of coercive control that one person exercises over another in order to dominate and get their way." Abuse is a behavior that compels someone to behave in ways that they do not freely choose which arouses fear and is emotionally or physically harmful. From When Love Goes Wrong, by Ann Jones and Susan Schecter
Domestic Violence is a Social Problem
Many people and communities tend to believe that domestic violence is an issue with individuals or families. Domestic violence is not an individualistic or group defined issue. It is an issue that is not only limited to certain segments of the community but affects the entire masses.
The Brewster Center realizes in believes that domestic violence is a community issue and acquires community level involvement to address this grave issue. Unfortunately, many victims and survivors are women and many abusers are men.
One of the major root causes behind domestic violence is an oppression known as sexism. Sexism is interrelated to all other forms of oppression including racism, classism, and heterosexism/homophobia. It is the male entitlement and masculine social conditioning that gives men to the opportunity to underplay the role of women in their lives. Men overplay their roles to keep them powerful and controlling over their partners.
Since Brewster Center believes that domestic violence is a social enemy, the Brewster Center considers itself as a catalyst for social change.
