Support An End to Domestic Violence
Domestic violence affects too many millions of people today (both victims and those who love them), and October is the month when this cause is brought to the forefront of society’s awareness.
According to the United States Department of Justice, “domestic violence can be defined as a pattern of abusive behavior in any relationship that is used by one partner to gain or maintain power and control over another intimate partner. [It] can be physical, sexual, emotional, economic, or psychological actions or threats of actions that influence another person. This includes any behaviors that intimidate, manipulate, humiliate, isolate, frighten, terrorize, coerce, threaten, blame, hurt, injure, or wound someone.”
Simply speaking, domestic violence is heinous and deserving of everyone’s attention to help make it stop.
More importantly, too many people living in a situation where domestic violence exists may be afraid to ask for help. So even if you don’t have this abusive behavior in your life, it’s crucial that you know the facts and what you can do to help if you come face to face with a friend or loved one who needs help.
A great place to start is The National Domestic Violence Hotline. They can be reached at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233). This number is staffed 24/7 and they can direct you to helpful resources. Over the past 15 years, they’ve helped save millions.
One day living with domestic violence is one day too many. Help spread the awareness for this very important cause.
