October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month!
Tuesday October 06, 2009
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month: Attend an Event
This month is the 15-year anniversary of the federal Violence Against Women Act. Despite 15 years of increasing awareness, women are still being punched, kicked, stabbed and thrown down stairs in shocking numbers. Many end up in emergency rooms after enduring months or years of assaults. Some pay with their lives.
Then U.S. senator, Joe Biden placed the issue squarely on the national agenda when he drafted the legislation that became law in 1994, that provided money to fight domestic violence. Last June, Vice President Biden announced the appointment of Lynn Rosenthal as White House Adviser on Violence Against Women, a new position created to work with the president and vice president on domestic violence and sexual assault issues.
About 1.5 million women are raped or assaulted each year by a spouse or boyfriend. However, he added,”there are no statistics on how many cases are unreported. Who knows the real number?”(ABC News June 26, 2009)
What we do know is that domestic violence exists in every neighborhood and about one in four women and one in 12 men experience domestic violence at least once in their lifetime. Two years ago, the Center for Disease Control reported that – in this country – domestic violence is an epidemic, just like heart disease and diabetes. Although crime is going down, domestic violence is not.
And, be sure to support our local domestic violence center, Micah’s Place, by attending the October 15, benefit concert at the Florida House Inn: Rafael Javadov, Russian Violinist, Returns!
