You Can Help End Domestic Violence
One in four women will experience domestic violence during her lifetime. Domestic violence not only affects those who are abused, but it also has a negative impact on family members, friends, coworkers, other witnesses, and your community. It’s a serious and sometimes fatal matter.
Domestic violence prevention begins with education. You can help end it by
- Volunteering your time at a local domestic violence program.
- Encouraging teachers and school counselors to openly address domestic violence and healthy relationships.
- Displaying prevention posters and materials in public places such as community bulletin boards, places of worship, schools, and libraries.
