Domestic Violence Awareness Month

[A-] | [A+]

In case you don’t know, I want to tell you that October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Domestic violence is a horrible but prevalent problem. For example, at least one in every three women has been beaten, coerced into sex or otherwise abused during her lifetime.

You can reach the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE.

If you or anyone you know suffers from domestic violence, I urge you to take action to stop it.

What do you think?

About

I am the creator of this website, which I use to post about self-defense and violence prevention. I have two children who I love so much. I want them to be proud of me, and I hope what I do here contributes to that. Please let me know what you think about my posts by leaving a comment below. I throw my opinions around pretty openly here, but I am totally open to opposing viewpoints and a productive discussion. So please post a comment. And follow me on Twitter: @scottmhughes

    I’m not sure if my first post was added due to glitch of some sort.

    I just wanted to thank you for your posts on domestic violence. As a survivor of such abuse I feel it’s very important to make as many people aware of this as possible!

    As a survivor of domestic violence I applaud you for your posts about this horrible reality for many people. Might I add that there are also women that abuse their husbands? I never realized that until I workd for Domestic Violence Services in NY.

    Thanks for the posts!
