I recently received an email with the quoted text below, which advocates for awareness of DV against women. (Sadly, it came from a very academic source...but those familiar with DV issues realize that those circles are very ignorant of reporting that men encompass 50-53% of DV victims.) I hope youll take initiative to use the hashtag #VetoViolence on Twitter and FB to inform the public of the number of male victims of DV. Click on the following links for dozens of pages of research that report on male victims. -TLB https://drive.google/…/0B4Y0MVDMPIPoN0had2pIUVFMe…/view… https://drive.google/…/0B4Y0MVDMPIPoZjBLNTBpQUFlQ…/view… CDC and the U.S. Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women invite you to participate in a social media movement — 1 Photo, 6 Words. #VetoViolence. Show your commitment to an America free of intimate partner violence throughout October for Domestic Violence Awareness Month! Post a photo and 6-word story to Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, using hashtag #VetoViolence. Simply take a photo or create a unique image with 6 words: Promoting healthy relationships for everyone, Illustrating an America without violence, or Celebrating the Violence Against Women Act turning 20!
