DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IS NOT A FAD, IT CONSTANTLY PLAGUES OUR COMMUNITIES

Domestic violence does not only happen to adults. Forty percent of girls age 14 to 17 report knowing someone their age who has been hit or beaten by a boyfriend, and approximately one in five female high school students reports being physically and/or sexually abused by a dating partner.”

“If the numbers we see in domestic violence were applied to terrorism or gang violence, the entire country would be up in arms, and it would be the lead story on the news every night.”
– Rep. Mark Green

Every woman who thinks she is the only victim of violence has to know that there are many more.
– Salma Hayek

There is a subconscious way of taking violence as a way of expression, as a normality, and it has a lot of effects in the youth in the way they absorb education and what they hope to get out of life.
– Salma Hayek

“One in three women may suffer from abuse and violence in her lifetime. This is an appalling human rights violation, yet it remains one of the invisible and under-recognized pandemics of our time.”  Violence against women is an appalling human rights violation. But it is not inevitable. We can put a stop to this.”
– Nicole Kidman

Child abuse casts a shadow the length of a lifetime.”

That’s all nonviolence is – organized love.
– Joan Baez
