October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. But “awareness” alone is not enough. In this episode of Structure & Scars, I take you through the long history of domestic violence—from ancient codes that sanctioned it, to the feminist movements that named it, to the modern legal system that still struggles to respond. We’ll unpack the ideology that fuels abuse, the biology that wires survivors into trauma bonds, and the housing, money, and custody battles that trap people in place. You’ll also hear about the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), why reauthorization matters, and how advocates continue to do impossible work with limited resources.
This isn’t just about awareness. It’s about context, accountability, and the real answers to the question survivors are so often asked: “Why don’t they just leave?”
If you or someone you know needs support, call 1-800-799-SAFE (7233), text START to 88788, or chat at thehotline.org.
