“One out of three women around the world has been beaten, coerced into sex or otherwise abused during her lifetime,” according to the National Domestic Violence Hotline.  To help with prevention, October is officially national domestic violence abuse month and there are a growing number of resources for victims.

Peace and dignity.  This is the main message of the Domestic Violence Awareness Project (DVAP).  By teaming up with organizations like the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, the National Domestic Violence Hotline and the National Network to End Domestic Violence all programs are striving to build campaigns that not only address the victimization of women, but also offer voices of leadership and expertise from females who have been in violent relationships.  Through prevention and awareness, DVAP  hopes to reach millions to inform and educate all ages about all levels of domestic violence.
