READING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN Inside the family there is a historical tradition ignoring violence. Abuse by a male relative is the most general form of violence against women. This abuse is directed at women who are wives or partners, and who are classified by society as male property. According to a survey, between one quarter and one third of women from different countries report physical abuse within their families, and even more report emotional or psychological abuse. This is a large number, especially when one considers that many incidences of domestic violence are often silenced. For women, there is a greater risk for violence in the home than anywhere else. Both physical violence and intimidation result in health problems. By repeated violations of their physical and mental autonomy, basic human rights are taken away from women. Domestic violence against women must be perceived as a global problem rather than a private matter. It must receive appropriate attention from the international community as an issue affecting womens health and their ability to participate fully in society. A) Answer the questions according to the information given in the text. Use your own words (1 point per answer) 1. Is there violence inside the family? Why?

2. Why must the international community pay attention to violence against women? B) Are these statements TRUE OR FALSE? Justify your answers with words or phrases from the text. (0.5 points per answer) 3. Less than one quarter of women report having been physically abused. 4. Public opinion is not informed of all cases of domestic violence. 5. Women are mainly abused at work. 6. Women suffering intimidation may have health problems. C) Use of English (025) 1. Give an adjective with the same root as HEALTH (noun) . 2. Which word does not have the same meaning? Investigate/ examine/ perceive /survey 9. Find in the text a word meaning: a danger, something that may have a bad result (noun) 10.
