What is D.V.?/DVとは

DV is when violence occurs between people who have close relations (husband and wife, lovers, etc.)
For example…

* Verbal violence: "stupid," "go back to ______," speaking in a way to hurt the other, etc.
* Sexual violence: Forcing sexual behavior, excessive behavior
* Financial violence: Not giving money for living expenses
* Cultural violence: Criticizing the other's culture, banning the usage of their native language, looking down on their customs
親しい関係にある人 (夫婦、恋人など) の間で起こる暴力のことをいいます。
例えば…
* 身体的暴力 たたく、けるなど、身体に危害を加える
* ことばの暴力「バカ」「国に帰れ」など、相手を傷つけるようなことを言う
* 性的暴力 性行為を強要する、無理な行為をする
* 経済的暴力 生活費を渡さない
* 文化的暴力 相手の文化を否定する、母語の使用を禁止する、宗教的習慣を認めない
If you think you've seen something, talk to someone ! 思い当たることがあれば、まず、誰かに相談しましょう !

Foreigners and DV 外国人とDV
When a foreigner is the victim of DV, there is a tendency for them to not say anything because of a lack of information in their native language, an insufficient amount of knowledge of support services, and other reasons which lead to the problem growing deeper. 外国人がDVの被害にあう場合、母語での情報が少ない、支援サービスについての知識が少ないなどの理由で、問題が表面に出ず、深刻化する傾向があります。
If You Think You've Encountered DVDVにあっていると思ったら
Living a safe life free from violence is a right everyone has. Further, to stop DV, not only the victim, but also the aggressor needs proper care. Don't hold onto the problem by yourselves, talk to a third person. 暴力のない、安全な生活をすることはすべての人に保障された権利です。また、DVの解決のためには、被害者だけでなく加害者にも適切なケアが必要です。問題を自分たちだけで抱え込まず、第三者に相談しましょう。
If Someone You Know Might've Encountered DV知人がDVにあっているかも…
With thoughts like ""the victim is also responsible, "" "" a little violence should be forgiven, "" the victim's pain can't be saved. There are situations whenDV can be solved with the help of people in the area. You should listen to whatthey have to say first, and then ask a professional organization for their assistance if it's needed. 「被害者にも責任がある」「少しくらいの暴力は許すべき」これでは当事者の苦しみを救うことはできません。DVは周囲の人の手助けによって解決が可能な場合もあります。まずは訴えを聞き、必要な場合は専門機関の力を借りましょう。
