Domestic violence manifests itself differently in each culture based on the language and values of their people. The Deaf community is unique because it has language and cultural norms without geographic borders. Domestic violence in the Deaf community is often overlooked by hearing professionals (advocates, law enforcement, medical professionals, etc.) DeafHope advocates have compiled information and interviews gathered over the past five years from Deaf survivors of domestic violence into the Deaf Power and Control Wheel. Thanks to the Domestic Violence Intervention Project of Duluth, Minnesota for their pioneering work. Click here for a printable version of the DeafHope Power and Control Wheel. |
