Huron women attend conference Wife battering is a serious, epidemic problem that police, courts and other members of society must de- nounce and try to resolve. It is estimated that 500,000 women in Canada - or 1 in 10 - are battered by their husbands or live in lovers each year. Statistics Canada says that almost 20 percent of murders involve husbands killing their wives. These are some of the startling facts that several women ' from the Huron County group Women Today faced at the conference "Wife Battering: Obstacles and Routes to Solutions." a They were among 200 police, social workers and concern- ed individuals who met at the University of Western Ontario on Friday, April 2 to examine why men beat women and what can be done to stop it. Women who have sought refuge for themselves and their children at one of the 11 interval houses in Ontario often are seeking help for their husbands as well. It is hard to convince the hus- band that he has a problem and difficult to find profes- sionals skilled at dealing with this kind of violence. Steve Everett, organizer of Stop Abuse by Men, a self- help program in the Chicago aliea and himself a former batterer, explained that most men deny that they bat- ter. He couldn't imagine himself fitting into the stereotype he had of an abuser: an unemployed, uneducated, alcoholic man. When he realized that it was the stereotype .that was wrong, he was able to admit that he was an abuser. Once he accepted that he needed help, he had difficulty fin- ding it. It was by talking to other men who were- violent and were willing to discuss their feelings and emotions that he was able to change. "An important part of changing and ending my bat- tering in my family was ex- ploring, learning and nam- ing my feelings during, before and after battering." Everett went on to .em- phasize that wife battering is only one symptom of many ways men Ore .violent -, to women including rape, in- cest, sexual harrassmerit, verbal assault and por- nography. London lawyer and feminist Connie Backhouse labeled the same list as a spectrum of violence against women. She stated that it is the same violence being manifested in a number of ways. As the women's move- ment identifies these various forms of violence, the same sets of myths' and the same sets of data are emerging. Backhouse says there are myths that wife battering is not a widespread problem; that only small, fragile, unemployed, immigrant, poor women are beaten; that men who beat their wives are alcoholic and unemployed; that somehow the wife is to blame and that beatings are of a minor nature. However, she said, batter- ing is in epidemic propor- tions and includes victims and abusers of all social classes, ages and 'religions. She dismissed the idea that women are to blame. "What that really means is that people think women like to be beaten, that -they ex- perience some kind of pleasure akin to sexual pleasure from it. This is ab- solutely, totally absurd". These beatings are not minor. Over ode third of the cases require medical treat- ment. The beatings can escalate to murder. - Inspector John Robinson of the London police force said that It is wrong to label family related assault as "domestic". This leads to the attitude that it is dif- ferent from other assault and is less serious. He also mentioned that more police are injured or killed during these amily disputes than in' any other police work. That there is a double stan- dard for assault was also the concern o'f Judge Maurice Genest of London Family court. He- said, "An assault against a wife should not be treated differently than an assault between two men on Dundas Street." He con- tinued on to say that we should act more responsibly about this violence since "an assault against any one woman is an assault against all women". Donnie Patterson, a representative of the women's program consul- tant in British Columbia and a victim, stressed that when women reach out for help the community must be there with help in the form of shelters, money, daycare and counselling. But moreover we need transition houses for men because "wife battering is not a women's issue, it is a men's issue". We must stop blam- ing women , .for their vic- timization. There were many solu- tions offered and demanded by those at the conference. Connie Backhouse sug– gested a $15 tax be levied on all marriage licenses raising one million dollars to be used to finance shelters for abus- ed women. Steve Everett stressed the • need for community educa- tion of the realities and scope of the problem. He dalso hoped that boys and men could be encouraged to be open about their feelings and emotions in non-violent BU LOVA WATCH SPECIAL Any Bulova Watch in stock —Clinton Store Only— ANSTETT JEWELLERS A 8 ALBERT ST., CLINTON 482-3901 AT THE MAIN CORNER GODERICH SIGNAL. -STAR, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 14, 1982—PAGE 9 b Winners of the Regional.
