Nice sentence:

1. （女性暴力的普遍性和嚴(yán)重性）Domestic Violence against women remains frighteningly common, and poses severe harms to both themselves and their children. To be specific, some women are attacked by strangers, but far more suffer at the fits of those who are supposed to love them. At the last count by the WHO, over one woman in four will be beaten or sexual abuse by their parterner over her lifetime. What is worse, the consequences are dire and long-lasting. The abused female tend to represent more emtional distress, and higher rates of depression and suicide. As well as that, the costs would pass on to their next generation. Boys who witness their father beating their mother are more likely to become victims or abusers. As for girls, their childhood‘s experience-when they saw sexual violence against their mothers-might become a lifelong nighmare-hindering them to have real relationships with strangers, or intimacy with their partener.
2. （貧窮使女性不能離開他們的丈夫） More generally, poverty makes it even harder for women to escape from an abusive relationship. For a mother, leaving her abusive husband means the loss of living expenses from his income; to avoid her children going without shelter or food, she had to do a full-time job to pay for bills. It is staggeringly difficult to attain a trade-off between children and work. That is why they stay with their assailants.
3. （家庭暴力并不是不可避免）Domestic violence is not inevitable. Attitudes have changed. For the past centuries, violent husbands counted on society to look the other way. But now, in most rich democracies, wife-beating is both illegal and deplored. More importantly, schools are supposed to act as a role to challenge harmful ideas about girls and inculcate more woman-friendly values: teachers can teach respect during sex-eeducation classes; sports coaches can teach boys that a real man ought to relieve his anger via doiing sports intead of hurting women. However, education is not enough. Perpetrators must face a credible threat of punishment. Meanwhile, authorities should make it easier for women to report abuse and press charges. Schemes that enlist the help of local leaders-such as the police, health workers and religious figures-are particularly effective in reducing violence.
4. （對女性或者低收入群體進(jìn)行積極救助）Modest but regular cash transfers to vulnerablee households in low-income countries can help. These appear to work well(行之有效） when handouts go directly to women, and they are also given some kinds of training-for example-in child care or nutrition. If designed well, such schemes reduce economic uncertainty and stress. They also increase women's standing and bargaining power, both within the home and outside it.
