October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month

Did you know that one in every four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime? Did you know that an estimated 1.3 million women are victims of physical assault by an intimate partner each year? Did you know most cases of domestic violence are never reported to the police?

These staggering facts and statistics are provided by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. Domestic violence is a serious problem that affects not only the person being battered, but it affects the entire family and the community. Chances are you have known someone who has experienced an abusive relationship. Our Facebook page  has  a comprehensive fact sheet available for you, provided by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, to help women who may be in an abusive situation or have a family member who needs help.

Even if domestic violence has never touched your life supporting each other is essential to ending this violent epidemic in our country as well as globally. During the month of October we have the chance to help raise awareness and money for domestic violence organizations nationwide by doing simple everyday things like shopping. The following four companies have dedicated their resources and finances towards ending abuse. By purchasing certain products, you can help, too!
