Violencia entre parejas adolescentes 1 de cada 3 adolescentes experimenta algún tipo de abuso en una relación de pareja Abuso físico El abuso físico es cualquier contacto intencional y no deseado contigo o con algo cercano a tu cuerpo. A veces, el comportamiento abusivo no causa dolor ni deja un hematoma, pero aún así no es saludable. Más de uno de cada 10 estudiantes de secundaria ya ha experimentado alguna forma de agresión física por parte de su pareja, y muchos de estos adolescentes no sabían qué hacer cuando sucedió. Abuso sexual El abuso sexual se refiere a cualquier acción que presiona o coacciona a alguien a hacer algo sexualmente que no quiere hacer. También puede referirse al comportamiento que afecta la capacidad de una persona para controlar su actividad sexual o las circunstancias en las que se produce la actividad sexual, incluido el sexo oral, la violación o la restricción del acceso a anticonceptivos y condones. Es importante saber que solo porque la víctima " no dijo que no ", no significa que quisieran decir" sí ". Cuando alguien no se resiste a un avance sexual no deseado, no significa que haya dado su consentimiento. Algunos piensan que si la víctima no se resistió, eso no cuenta como abuso. Eso no es cierto. Este mito es hiriente porque hace que sea más difícil para la víctima hablar y más probabilidades de que se culpe a sí misma. Ya sea que estuvieran intoxicados o se sintieron presionados, intimidados u obligados a actuar de cierta manera, la agresión / abuso sexual nunca es culpa de la víctima.

También puede conducir a la violencia física si la relación continúa por un camino poco saludable. Ser criticado constantemente y decirle que no es lo suficientemente bueno hace que pierda la confianza y disminuya su autoestima. Como resultado, puede comenzar a culparse por el comportamiento abusivo de su pareja. Recuerde: el abuso emocional nunca es culpa suya. Habla con alguien en quien confíes, como un padre, un amigo o un maestro, sobre la situación y haz un plan de seguridad . Abuso digital El abuso de citas digitales es el uso de tecnologías como los mensajes de texto y las redes sociales para intimidar, acosar, acechar o intimidar a una pareja. A menudo, este comportamiento es una forma de abuso verbal o emocional perpetrado en línea. En una relación sana, toda la comunicación es respetuosa, ya sea en persona, en línea o por teléfono. Nunca está bien que alguien haga o diga algo que te haga sentir mal, disminuya tu autoestima o te manipule. Pruebas: ¿Soy un buen socio? ¿Mi relación es saludable?

Mitos y realidades de la violencia doméstica y la agresión sexual MITO: La violencia doméstica es poco común. REALIDAD: La violencia doméstica afecta a 1 de cada 4 mujeres en algún momento de su vida. Los hombres también pueden ser víctimas de violencia doméstica, pero las mujeres representan alrededor del 97% de los sobrevivientes de violencia doméstica. La violencia doméstica ocurre por igual en las relaciones heterosexuales y homosexuales. MITO: Si una víctima de agresión sexual no se defiende, debe haber pensado que la agresión no fue tan mala o que lo querían. HECHO: Muchos sobrevivientes experimentan inmovilidad tónica o una “respuesta de congelación” durante un asalto en el que físicamente no pueden moverse ni hablar. MITO: Si una persona permanece en una relación abusiva, es posible que el abuso no sea tan malo. REALIDAD: Irse puede ser extremadamente difícil e inseguro para los sobrevivientes. De hecho, irse es el momento más peligroso y los sobrevivientes tienen 7 veces más probabilidades de convertirse en víctimas de homicidio. Además, las barreras económicas causadas por el abuso financiero hacen que sea extremadamente difícil para los sobrevivientes irse MITO: La única forma de abuso a personas mayores que ocurre es el abuso financiero perpetrado al azar a través de estafas telefónicas o en línea. REALIDAD: Los ancianos en realidad experimentan todas las formas de abuso, incluido el abuso físico y sexual, y se informa que 1 de cada 10 estadounidenses mayores de 60 años experimentan abuso de ancianos. MITO: La violencia doméstica es un "comportamiento incontrolable" generalmente como resultado de que uno pierde los estribos. HECHO: El maltrato es un patrón de coerción y control que una persona ejerce sobre otra. Golpear no es solo un ataque físico. Incluye el uso repetido de una serie de tácticas, que incluyen intimidación, amenazas, privación económica, aislamiento, abuso psicológico y sexual. MITO: Se necesitan dos para bailar el tango: el abuso en las relaciones suele ser causado por ambas personas. HECHO: La violencia y el abuso dentro de una relación íntima casi siempre son utilizados por una pareja para controlar y dominar a la otra. Muchas víctimas tratan de defenderse o contraatacar, pero no tratan de controlar a la otra persona. Las víctimas a menudo cambian su comportamiento con la esperanza de detener el abuso, pero esto rara vez funciona. MITO: La violencia doméstica solo ocurre en familias de bajos ingresos. HECHO: La violencia doméstica destruye la igualdad de oportunidades. No discrimina por motivos de edad, raza, clase, género, identidad de género, orientación sexual, religión o antecedentes educativos. De hecho, las estadísticas muestran que 1 de cada 3 personas se convertirá en víctima de alguna forma de violencia en su vida, independientemente de cualquiera de estos factores. MITO: Los hombres no pueden ser víctimas de violencia doméstica. HECHO: Según la Coalición Nacional Contra la Violencia Doméstica, 1 de cada 9 hombres experimentará violencia severa de pareja íntima en su vida. También es más probable que las cifras de informes de varones sean bajas debido a los estigmas asociados con la masculinidad. Muchos sobrevivientes masculinos experimentan vergüenza, culpa, miedo Descargue nuestro folleto de mitos y hechos Descargar

Sexual violence is any sexual contact or behavior that occurs without explicit consent. This can include rape or attempted rape; fondling or unwanted touching; forcing someone to perform sexual acts, such as oral sex or penetrating the perpetrators body. Sexual coercion is the act of using pressure, alcohol, drugs, or force to have sexual contact with someone against their will. FORCE DOES NOT ALWAYS MEAN PHYSICAL FORCE OR RESTRAINT.

Try to find safe places and people to surround yourself with. Remember what happened to you is not your fault. You did not deserve to be assaulted.
