Hi All! I know we''re a jewelry-focused, engagement, wedding forum, but as we''re all in relationships and most of us are women (shout out to the men!) I wanted to share since October is Domestic Violence Awareness month and domestic violence touches each of us in ways we don''t even realize.
Did you know 1 in 4 women will be a victim at some point in her life? More than 1.3 million women are physically assaulted by an intimate partner each year -- and this is only those assaults that are reported! Shocking isn''t it? And funny how it feels like the word "domestic" modifies the word violence...
This month every day a different victim will share her story. I encourage everyone to follow along - these memoirs are staggering and heartfelt. http://jwiblog.org//
If you need help, think you may be a victim, or just want to donate to a good cause, please visit: http://www.ndvh.org
Please help spread awareness about Domestic Violence.
