The way to help prevent domestic violence from occurring is not to remain silent when you see it happening. Many times people have heard violence going on in the homes of neighbours, but they do nothing about it when they do. Or, they hear children being abused and do nothing, or they see friends abusing their girlfriends/wives and sit by and say nothing.
If you do find yourself in this situation, the first thing you can do to prevent the violence from continuing is to speak up about it. You can either phone the police and report what you’ve heard, or you can try to record the sounds of the arguing so that you have evidence to show the police when you do contact them. Unless you can prove what you’ve heard or seen, often it’s difficult to get anything done about the situation you’re trying to help.
If you have friends who are being abusive towards their girlfriends or wives, you can say something to them about it. Making them aware that you know what is going on is the first step in helping to prevent their behaviour from continuing. Talking to the woman and offering support is another way to help as well.
