Whereas, 1 in 3 women will experience domestic violence during her lifetime; and
Whereas, intimate partner violence impacts victims, children, family, friends, and the
community at large; and
Whereas, domestic violence is not confined to any group or groups of people, but is
experienced in all economic, racial, ethnic, educational, societal, and
religious groups and is sustained by societal indifference; and
Whereas, perpetrators of domestic violence should be held accountable for their
actions and victims should have access to support and services help them
overcome their experience; and
Whereas, it is important to recognize the compassion and dedication of the
individuals who provide support to victims of intimate partner violence and
work to increase public understanding of this significant problem; and
Whereas, only a coordinated effort from all community members will put a stop to this
heinous crime.
