Description

October is domestic violence awareness month.

 

According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, more than 10 million people deal with some sort of physical abuse every year in the US. 

 

Women 18 to 24 are most likely to face abuse and only 34% of victims receive medical care. Domestic violence hotlines receive an average of 20,000 phone calls per day.
