Physical Abuse
Physical abuse is a horrible thing that is happening in our would and we need to do something about it. On average over 20 people per minute get physically abused. Even professional athletes, actors and professional singers, are abusing people and not much is being done to stop it. 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men have been victims of some sort of severe abuse. Also 68% of children have been abused by a family member. There are 2.9 million cases of child abuse reported every year. With that there are 5 children who die from physical abuse every year. Over 6,000 children were identified as needing protection from physical abuse in 2016/17. Nearly 5.3 million incidents of domestic violence occur among U.S women aged 18 or older. I think this topic is important because so many people don’t see how bad it actually is and how much people are just ignoring it. I want the amount of women,children and men getting abused to go down and maybe stop. There isn't anything being done about this, the one thing that has changed is there is a hotline where you can call and get help from being abused. But it hasn't really helped because the physical abuse rates are still high, and people are still getting hurt. I think my photographs will help with this problem because it will make people realize how serious this problem actually is and that there needs to be something done to help the people going through this.
