Domestic Violence
Oct 5th 2007ZacharyDomestic Violence
October is national Domestic Violence Awareness Month. As someone who’s experienced domestic violence first hand - both on a personal and professional level - I find myself thinking a lot about domestic violence in all its forms, and I challenge all six of you who read this blog to take a moment to think about domestic violence.
The Wisconsin Coalition Against Domestic Violence has issued a report on a study that explores the stories behind each of the 46 domestic violence-related deaths (including 6 suicides) in the state of Wisconsin in 2005, and I’d encourage you all to take a moment to read one or two of the accounts of 34 people became domestic-violence homicide victims in Wisconsin in 2005. The accounts aren’t long, but they are both brutal and tragic, and they give readers a snapshot of what domestic violence really is.
So take a moment, click the link I’ve provided, and read the report - you’ll be glad you did.
