Breaking the Cycle. Remember My Name. Domestic Violence Project.

At the time of the filming of Remember my Name in 2005, more than 50 per cent of all women experienced some form of violence from their spouses during marriage. In 92% of all domestic violence incidents, crimes were committed by men against women. Domestic violence was the leading cause of injury to women between the ages of 15 – 44.  In 2005, South Carolina ranked sixth per capita in the nation in the number of women killed by men.

Even as twenty years has elapsed, there is still much work to be done. We are proud to share four segments of the Remember My Name series. Their stories are still relevant and we return their voices to the conversation.

 

Breaking the Cycle 

Why do women stay? A more practical question would be “How can men be stopped? What is the pattern of an abuser? Why do batterers get away with it? If a man knows that he can do that once and get away with it, he may feel guilty later and feel some regret, but he got away with it, especially if the legal system was not involved. We meet several counselors who map out the profile of a batterer.
