just for good measure.”

Battered women everywhere have experienced some form of isolation
as controlled by their partner. But for rural battered women, isolation
becomes magnified by their environment and geographical isolation.
Domestic Violence Awareness Week vs as held last week. The theme for
this year is “Building a Non-Violent World." The Women’s Crisis
Center’s services in Victoria are available to people living in Calhoun,
Lavaca DeWitt, Jackson, Goliad, Gonzales and Victoria counties. The
Crisis Center has taken a special interest in the problems of rural battered
women. Consider the following information presented by Women
Against Violence, Inc.
•rural battered women may not have telephone service.
•usually no public transportation exists, so if she leaves, she must use
the family vehicle.
•police and medical response to a call may be a long time in arriving,
•rural area have fewer resources available tor women-jobs, child care,
housing, health care, social services, legal and judicial resources, or easy
access to them is limited b\ distance.
•extreme weather conditions often exaggerate isolation cold, snow
and mud regularly affect life in rural area and mav extend periods of
isolation with an abusive partner.
•poor roads further thwart transportation,
•seasonal work may mean months of unempl nment on a regular basis
and result in women being trapped with abusive partners tor long periods
of time.
•hunting weapons are common to rural homes and everyday tools are
also potential, accessible weapons: axes chains, mauls.
•alcohol use often increases in winter months when people are
unemployed and isolated in their homes; the use or abuse of alcohol or
drugs often affects frequency and severity of abuse.
•rural women may not see a neighbor for a week or longer, especially
in winter - after a snowstorm or when the kids are sick, family members
are housebound and stress builds up.
•a woman’s bruises may fade or heal before she sees a neighbor and
working with farm tools and equipment may provide an easy excuse for
injuries.
•farm families are often one income families and a woman frequently
has no money of her own to support herself and her children.
•a family’s finances are often tied up in land and equipment and a
woman thinking of ending a relationship faces an agonizing reality that
her partner may lose the family farm and may end up with no job or
means of income.
•restraining orders are less viable for rural women because men cannot
be kept away from the farm if it is their source of income.
•ruial women frequently have strong emotional ties to the land and to
the farm animals - if she feels a strong attachment to her animals, she
tears that they may be neglected or harmed.
•rural women are usually an integral part of a family farm business; if
she leaves the business may fail.
Rural battered women have unique problems, but alternatives to living
with abuse do exist. The Women’s Crisis Center offers these alternatives.
I he Center operates a 24-hour hotline (573-HELP) and a shelter for vic-
tims of domestic violence. Now is the time to begin building a non-
violent world.
