Employers Abet Domestic Violence

Posted By Elisa On 24th February 2006 @ 10:56 In rankism at work, domestic violence | No Comments

When domestic violence interferes with work performance, the employer often responds by [1] punishing the victim. Abusers work the system to maximize their control:

What employers need to know is that batterers often use the legal system to abuse their victim….One way they do so is by filing motions in family courts for custody of children, trying to prove that the mother is unfit and trying to take the children away from her.

Reducing rankism starts in the home: victims need the support of everyone around them, including their employer. As organizations such as [2] End Abuse work with employers to raise awareness of domestic violence, hopefully we will move toward a society of helping hands instead of slammed doors.
