Violence Against Women Is Against the Law
November 172009
According to Department of Justice statistics, rape in Native American and Alaskan native communities is 3.5 times higher than among all other racial groups. The Indian Health Service could reduce the number of rapes and sexual assaults occurring in our communities through the implementation of a standardized emergency room sexual assault policy and protocols.

A brilliant video, very informative but sobering as well. Violence against women all over the world seems to be increasing every year, and nothing seems to be able to stop it. There need to be much tougher sentences to deter all attackers as well as educational programmes for women to “spot” the early signs of abusive behaviour and to act accordingly. Here in the UK its only a tiny percentage of abusers who actually go to jail, so there’s no deterrence at all.

JackDoesntCare: Unfortunately in this society nobody seems to care if a man catches a beatdown by a female or another male. If you get attacked in the street no one will aid you. If you are a women your chances of being helped are higher because females are considered weak and defenseless. Men on the other hand are supposed to “man up” and “take that whuppin’ like a man”.

Native American …
Native American Women are the most sexually abused out of all races within the US, while Native Americans and Alaskan Natives make up only 1.5 percent of the total US population! This is an astounding statistic!!!! NO matter what your race is, you must realize that all lives deserve to live free of all forms of violence! Support Humanity! Contact your Congress person and demand that they have Indian Health Services provide optimum care and conscientious policies!

As a Native Women we need your support to improve services provided by Indian Health Service. Please contact your congress person and tell them to have Indian Health Service adope standardize policies within their Emergency Rooms to help reduce the rapes in our communities.
