Battered Women

Are You Safe In Your Relationship?
You do not deserve to be hurt. Nothing you say or do causes your partner to hurt you. We all get angry sometimes, but when we do, we all have choices. We can choose to express ourselves in healthy ways. Or we can be irresponsible and choose to hurt someone else – which is not healthy.

Resources for Survivors during the Covid-19 Crisis
Unfortunately, for people who are experiencing violence in the home, a shelter in place order is especially difficult because they cannot escape their abuser. Isolation increases and tensions run high. For survivors, the focus quickly shifts to safety and survival. Am I safe? Are my children safe? How will I pay for groceries and rent? Where can I find help?

Challenges During Covid

Can’t meet in public spaces, such as restaurants.

Person seeking help can’t avoid their abuser who would be constantly monitoring them.

Zoom fatigue, especially with children. Therapy became just too much. Isolation was tough for kids. Challenge to engage for therapists.

Shelter capacity dwindled. Some had to go to hotels. They didn’t get services going to those in shelters. Clients were often tech challenged.

Hard to get empathy across on Zoom. Staff of services had to learn how to build rapport via Zoom. Disconnect has been tough for everyone.

Financial problems greatly increased. Problems paying rent, buying food.

Different populations affected differently by COVID19 and job losses and food insecurity.

10 Tips to Reduce Your Chances of Becoming a Crime Victim

  • Lock doors and windows when you are not going to be at home. Many home burglaries have occurred by suspects finding an unlocked window or open door to enter through.
  • Lock car doors and do not leave any property in plain view. Valuables left out in the open may tempt thieves. If you must leave belongings in the car, place them in the trunk and out of sight.
  • When walking on the street or to your car from a business, make eye contact with others and be aware of your surroundings. Keeping your head down and not making eye contact with people makes a person look more vulnerable to an assailant.
  • When getting into your car after shopping or doing errands, do not sit in your car for a long period of time. It can give an assailant time to get into the car and rob or assault you.
  • Always look in the back seat of your car before getting in. If someone is in the backseat, exit your car immediately and call the police.
  • If you enter an elevator and feel unsafe because you are alone with someone, exit the elevator – it is better to be safe than sorry.
  • If you are getting harassing phone calls, keep a notebook by the phone and write down dates and times. It helps to keep a log of harassment and the notebook can be given to police as possible evidence in the future.
  • When eating at a restaurant or sitting in a public place, do not leave your purse or purchased items in a vulnerable spot. A purse or bag hanging on the back of a chair can easily be taken by a thief. Keep purchases or bags under the table or in an area where they are not easily accessible. You can put the strap of a bag or purse under the leg of your chair.
  • When needing assistance on the side of the road, and a cell phone is not available, only roll down your window enough to speak to whomever has stopped to help. Ask the person to call police or your roadside assistance provider for you and wait in the car.
  • If you are home alone and a stranger is knocking at the door, speak to them through the door or through a window nearby. If they ask to use the phone, let them know you can call police on their behalf. You do not have to let anyone inside your home to use the phone. This is not rude… it is safe.

Silicon Valley Singles Center

In a nutshell: Milpitas is not a good city for singles. Out of about 19,000 homes in Milpitas, nearly 16,000 are family-led. Few homes are owned by single people (705), and young adults tend to live with their parents, or other willing relative willing to take them in as they get started. So when looking for someone to date, singles need to look outside into the wider population of Silicon Valley. There is virtually no night life here, unless you count Dave & Busters.

Silicon Valley Dating Services

They’ve got money, power and huge hard drives so why aren’t Silicon Valley’s finest getting any? In Silicon Valley the biggest immigration problem may be sex. People come from all over to work in the valley — from other states and other countries. It’s hard to make connections. Foreign nationals may have been schooled in the universal language of mathematics, but they may also be caught in a neuterland. That is, the rules of attraction and courtship they grew up with in Pakistan and Turkey don’t apply here; dating, West Coast style, can be confounding even for the natives.
