DOMESTIC VIOLENCE affects millions of lives each year. Domestic violence isn't just physical

abuse, it also includes emotional abuse, sexual abuse, and psychological abuse. Anyone can be a

victim of domestic violence, however, most victims, are women. Domestic violence transcends race, gender, education, financial status, culture, religion ... There is NEVER an excuse for domestic violence. One of the worst things that we can do is remain silent. Let us all take action, to end, one of the most horrible social issues of our time. If you, or someone you know, is being abused, please phone: 1-800-799-SAFE (7233.) There may also be local domestic violence shelters in your area.

**Domestic violence is everyone's business.

 ***Take a stand to end domestic violence, each day, not just in the month of October.
