According to unicef, 80% of 18 year olds think that children and adolescents

are in danger of being sexually abused or taken advantage of online. According
to American SPCC (Spill, Prevention, Control and Countermeasure), in 80.1%
of cases, parents are the abuser. And this kind of violence is handed down.
The problem is greatly severe, but there is little policy that can protect the
victims. 40,000 children in South Korea are exposed to domestic violence, and

90% of them become domestic assailants again, when they grow up. It is a task
that the society must be in charge.

In this poster, there are three people and a child at the bottom and behind
them is a chain. It symbolizes that domestic violence is passed down. It is said
that children who have once experienced violence in their family tend to shape
the wrong image for parenting, which results in the abused becoming violent
adults like their parents. When they have a child, most of them resemble their
parents. We should not regard the domestic violence as a matter of individuals’
personality or tendency. Several factors such as the social perception for
violence and unfair structure in a society might contribute to causing domestic
violence. Therefore we ourselves have to take responsibilities and support for
eliminating domestic violence which may be now happening somewhere all over
the world. This is why we titled 'cut the chain' to the poster to cut the
domestic violence passing on and to live as many children as possible in
healthy and safe conditions.

We don’t know how long the chain is. If we don’t cut it now, we don’t know
how longer it will grow. The governments have to provide the facilities that
victims can easily go to and get counselling. Schools have to educate the
students of the severity of domestic violence and they have to report it
immediately, if they are the victims. Domestic violence is handed down from
generation to generation like the chain. We can cut the chain. We must cut the
chain.
