cultural, religious, socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds. With nearly
3 out of 4 of Americans (71 percent) reporting they know someone who is
or has been a victim of domestic violence, it’s imperative the we
educate ourselves on this issue not only to assist those already in an
abusive relationship, but ensure that all of us are on the path to
lead lives free from violence.
