Q1202: Comments by respondents
Respondent is asking why so many questions.
there are girls like me out their that wont want to say anything and not everyone is lucky and things can go bad but the government can have companies visit homes just like you (me) to talk to them to see if persons will feel comfortable talking to them, because I wanted to talk to someone but there was no one. their are families where people feel shut out and they can either lose control or it makes them get stronger.
women need to be more independent, no abuse will happen if they are more independent so men don't believe they own them. more security is needed, theres so much fear when walking home at nights because of the poverty that happens in the country. more honest people.
government have to try to put a stop to violence against women. whatever method can be used.
more jobs, housing for abused women so they can be more independent. alot of girls drop out of school and that cause them to settle in certain relationships.
How does this interview benefits both parties involve both the Interviewer and Interviewee.
Lack of Job opportunities makes it hard to provide for themselves and family. the upbringing of males needs to be looked at. some men grow up seeing their mothers being abused so its a trend or family curse. when men and women are not working it can become stressful so that tends to lead to their behaviour.
This is a good thing because people will come out of their shells and talk about their problems which they could not do before.
Hope this will help someone who really needs the help, hope interviewer is not walking in the soon in vain.
Put workshop into place for abused women, interaction with the public face to face, wants to see progression from this processs. Interviewer very persistent
good thing, alot of persons in the dark need to see the light
Its the younger set of women getting abused more, find trade for them so that they wont have to depend on man so that they can mis-treat them.
Some of the questions are not relevant too personal even though Statin doing a good job they need take out some of the questions. Interviewer has a nice personality.
Most times this is caused by break down of family relationships.
good thing, can host seminars , prevention plans, speak out so as not to be harmed
Good thing you people doing, government must do more things like these.
good to knowhow the country run to try put a top to certain thongs, when u have someone to talk to one away théy expresss themself more
Glad for the company, interviwer was great company nice to talk to.
No comments, interviewrer was pleasant and professional
Should provide some monetary compensation for sharing personal information with stranger.
Love the interview and interviewer, very interesting thing statin doing.
Its a good jb that Statin is doing, ladies need to start coverng their bodies.
Needs so form of compensation for personal information and time.
There is an urgent need for more of theses survyes. Thinks this is a good thing
Based on personal experience its a good thing to do so that other women may not have to go through the same things
This process makes alot of sense and I would like to appauld the persons on board.
Statin is doing a good job with this especially for single mothers
its a good thing finding out this information, good to talk about it or let it, good to get feedback from victims stuck in their shells who wanted to talk but didnt really know who to turn to.
good thing because some people are afraid to talk about getting abused, it will help young girls to express themselves so you can talk about it and stop keeping it inside.
I am not sure what all these questions are for because I dont see anything being done to benefit us after answering them.
It is a problem but people tend to be very closed about it and some women are in denial that that is actually what is happening to them. Many of the cases that I am aware of remain in the situation because there is a dependency for survival from their partners. I saw my mother being abused and I made a vow that I would never get involved with certain men. My step-father abused my mother but I think she stayed because she was dependent on him.
Most times once persons start to help they are determined to see the case come to a close and the cases go on for many years without anybody being charged or convicted.
Interview was thorough good questions, interviewer was pleasant
she would like to know why only taking statistic and dont see the result
respondent said that young girls need counselling and help worse girls who got rape because they are traumatized but said that some like herself are strong thats why they stand firm.
respondent say she doesnt see how the interview was neccessary
Dont think theres going to be much action to change what is happening really.
Survey too long, Statin just wants to know peoples business and personal life
Brings back memories, make sense what is being done so you can get things of your chest.
Too many surveys, even though this one is different.
Didnt like the section that was asking about husband.
Rushine thinks that not everybody is going to share their true experiences so its still going to be difficult to find out what is really happening.
no, interwiew too long so dont remember comments.
I hope that this interview is not to make my life harder than when I was a child
the interview could have been shorter for both me and the interviewer....too many questions
why do you people have to ask those personal questions
ask too many personal question, cia ting
would like to know if they are going help the women that are being abused
Respondent states that questionaire is too long and needs to be adjusted.
Its very important .. this will help alot of women
Statin is doing something good with this project, good way to help women who are really being abused and are afraid to talk about it.
good thing , people need to know wats happening
violence against women is suttle they should be aware of the different types of violence
I think the questionaire is too long and too many request for personal details.
Discipline starts in the home. If we go back to certain good values life would be better. Every home need sound economic base to avoid crime. The country wasnt build on goodwill for its people. Only brown skin and tall hair get opportunity to move forward. Politicians have let down the people and only helping themselves and their family.
question are too personal i really don't like surveys
The questionnaire is too long and the questions are too personal .
money, why some of these women stay in violence relationship
why will all of this information be saved on the computer about me. its personal and should only stay with me
Some questions need to be refined from a research perspective. She like the happy sad or sad face that has been included
too many question about your personal life
women should try and get help if they are in an abusive relationship my previous relationship was very abusive thank god that i survived
no you people have put it together very well
questionnaire is too long however it was good talking to someone about my situation without feeling like i am been judge
I THINK ITS OK , I SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TYPES OF QUESTIONS EITHER'
No comment except that the questionnaire is too long
sometimes husbands arent faithful and the wives dont even know about it.
no comment all Iwanto know if these questions are imortant in my life
No. Just wondering if people go through these things.
more government involvement to help prevent teenage pregnancies and provide counselling for females traumatized by these acts of violence.
Laws need to be put in place just like the United States, so that men will be afraid to hurt women here in Jamaica.
you have to keep a keen eye on kids from predators and people that could cause harm.
would like the government to try their best to stop the crime and violence in the country.
you never can tell when things going to happen. if things aren't working out its best to part, instead of killing each other. don't wait until they finish doing what they do, because it would be too late for sorry. Best to walk away from the situation. look at themselves being a man, be more stronger to walk away from the situation. working wouldnt stop men from acting senseless, no one can change you you change yourself.
the reason why men become violent is because of frustration lack of job, nothing to do so they take it out on the women. if they have something to do there would be less violence
I would like to see men who beat women being punished and those that neglect their children as well.
violence cant stop, hanging should come back
need somewhere to start over and to improve life for my kids.
no comments. don't think violence can stop because people are always going to try to hurt each other.
I don't condone violence against anyone, but it is getting real out of hand and that its full time men stop hitting women and if they don't want anyone to hit their sister then they shouldn't hit anyone else. its best for them to walk away. more mothers need to understand their daughters, because if they get pregnant they shouldn't put them out. and more awareness programs needs to be put in place to empower women.
hope these information that are gathered are not put down in storage but must be acted on.
it was a long survey but the questions seems important and also relevant
respondent ask why statin needs all this information
What is this all about and how will I be benfitting from this. What prompt this interview. Can there be a survey on safety of our children and educate somen of their selfworth. Learn to live within their means.
That government should pay them for this information.
I never regret anything because it makes me who i am today
Statin should provide a proper explanation to give to the respondent to tell abusive husbands....especially since it is a private interview.....i'd hate to know that a woman suffers abuse because she participated in this interview......the church needs to play a more vital role in preventing abuse.....questionnaire should provide classified options to select from especially for age.....questionnaire shouldnt ask for names
No, but why are the questions so personal.
Interview was not bad. Questions opened her eyes to reality
too personal people may not tell the truth
where the question about age should be group 15-20 ,21-30 ect
It is a very good survey and if the respondents änswer the questions truthfully we will get a better insight of behavioural pattern existing in the home with children, family, friends and oworkers. These people can be your worse enemy has they are not what they seem to be.
respondent have no comments only that she grow up strict
respond state that she want government to take action against perpetrator who abuse females
the government needs to do more for the young people to help them to be active and have more work to do. both sides of the politicians need to perform better and more police patroling. Open a place for young women to learn skills for themselves so that they can have something to do.
when violence is reported it needs to be taken more seriously, its not as if the government has any part in who you choose but these matters need to be addressed more seriously.
if there are more jobs,there will be less violence against women.
women now a days some deserve what they are getting, because they don't care about their own kids, don't know why they have them in the first place.
This questins setting up people to tell lies. The questions should be sent to peple email so they can answer themselves.
I dont see where this questionnaire have anything to do with health. This is just fasting in people personal business. This is also setting up people to tell lies.This questionnaire should be sent to persons personal email.
Too many questions in my personal business. I need the sewageto fixin my area. If you need clarification come with compensation.
Dont have anything to say more than I need help from the government
not really, like to know what the survey is about
too long ,what is the purpose of this interview.
it is good that someone is willing to help women in this way .
none being more specific with question and stop go around corner.
what will come out of this why they asking so many questions
too much fool fool question and too much questions repeating themselves
dont like the question says she is too old for these question.
repondent believed this will help society
would like to know why so much questions
people will not tell some personal information eg. if they do an abotion
Suggestions for male to do this interview as well
you people should been this survey years ago
talking about have bring bad some unressolve issues i have
I want to see something out of this survey; not just coming and taking the information. Government personel needed to come and check the homes around here.
she is happy that they are doing this type of survey, not everyone knows their options.
i would government to step in and help people.
I know other persons who is going through these situations. Randomly selections are not helpful, this survey should be done in every household.
She stated " If the government knows that someone is experiencing domestic violence they must intervene and help those persons who are expose to this behaviour."
Government need to make it mandatory for the age of consent to be the age of 21 also statin need to target the more volatile communities and more of the younger adults as thy are more prone to violence.
yes , i think the questions are too long and very much personal
why all these question, i dont see where they are necesarry
i dont like to be ask all these personal question
I think the questions are too much personal
She just in need of consulting for herself as well as her partner.

I need help with my grandson who is almost blind. Government needs to help.
Most women are not taking a stand against domestic violence and they wait until it is too late to do something about it.
I dont know why they sending people to dig up in other people's personal business.
A lack of communication, jealousy, and a love for sex and satisfaction rather than love for each other create many family problems and when challenges come, they dont know how to deal with it.
This is too much information to ask people about their personal life. These questions are for young people. We give the information and we do not see the benefits from it.
It is good when people can find someone who they can talk to .
No, just too many question many questions
I think some of the questions are irrelevant not linked to lifestyle. It is good that this method is used to capture the information rather than the regular pen and paper
Good survey, good information , to know what is going on in other area
I have had experience violently wit my older brother that is the only problem that I have had as a child
Men should stop beat women, they should think about there mother and sisters everytime they raise thier hands to beat a woman
people with i think the government need to provide more help for abuse people.
most of the question are not relevant, because it has nothing to do with peoples health.
FEELING SAD ABOUT THE SITUATION AND REFRESHING HER MEMORY
the respondent feel good that someone as take time out to find out the well being of women
don't understand how you will be able to help
it made me timid and brought back memories i wanted to forget. it very intereting.
