30-42% OF MURDERED WOMEN ARE KILLED BY THEIR INTIMATE MALE PARTNER
No one should be assaulted by a partner or spouse. No child should lay awake at night trembling in fear because his home is not a safe place. We are fortunate to live in a community where men and women recognize that domestic violence is everyone's problem, and we are proud to fulfill our mission of working with our community to eliminate abuse and fear.
Together, we can send the message that domestic violence is not acceptable.
