October Is Domestic Violence Awareness Month

Domestic violence: break the silence, make it STOP!

The purple ribbon is worn to recognize the bruises women have sustained at the hands of abusers. It also acknowledges all forms of violence, especially those against women and children, such as domestic violence, rape, child abuse and neglect. Three million people are affected by domestic violence every year. By raising awareness about domestic violence, we can increase people’s understanding about this alarmingly growing crime against humanity.

For 22 years, KAFSC has served the needs of those in domestic violence situations and strives to eradicate domestic violence. If you or someone you love is being battered or verbally abused, please call KAFSC at (213) 389-6755. We are here to help you!
