No one deserves to be beaten. Abusers are responsible for ending the violence. Recognize that it is difficult for a battered woman to leave her abuser. Economic factors, fear of retribution to herself and her children, physical exhaustion and psychological trauma all contribute to the reasons why women stay with an abusive partner. The threat of death is real.
Women are more likely to be victims of homicide when they separate from their husbands.
Tell her that the abuse is not her fault, and is not God's will for her. Refer her to local domestic violence agencies. Help her find a shelter and resources for legal assistance and counseling. Help her think through a safety plan of action. Trust your instincts and seek help from a domestic violence program in your community.
