October is Domestic Violence Month

Did you know that October is Domestic Violence Month?  I was unaware of this until I was driving through a town that posted a huge banner stating this.  I don't feel like this day is announced enough. Not when our women and children are suffering from abuse every day of their lives.

The Day of Unity is celebrated the first Monday of October for those who work so hard to connect to battered women around the world. They work diligently to end the violence against women and their children.

Hopefully, communities will come together and begin celebrating this wonderful day, as I know, we all know women who have lived a life of abuse.
