The Power of Words

I was on a training course today, the training was good, informative, however during the course of the session the facilitator continually referred to survivors of domestic violence as victims, and the women, when are 'we' going to wake up and realise the power of our words and assumptions?

DV can happen to all sexes and all partnerships, women to man, man to women and man to man and women to women, and those in this position and Survivors NOT Victims.

This isnt a rant about being politically correct, it's a soap box issue of mine that we as individuals have the power to make change by being aware of the language we use and the labels we give.
