The COST of Ignorance

As most politicians don't promote the ending of violence as part of their campaign agenda, there is not sufficient funding to help victims of abuse.

25% of women who seek medical care have been battered.

Domestic violence is the cause of 30% of physical disabilities in women.

Domestic Violence costs an estimated $1.4 Billion annually in medical bills, and an additional $900 million in mental health treatment.

Domestic Violence is responsible for a $3 to $5 billion of loss each year for employers due to absenteeism.

BUT the PAIN and COST to them and their families is more than anyone should endure!!

Remember

Children who experience family violence are TWICE as likely to commit violence.

Our goal MUST be to eliminate abuse, to STOP the cycle of VIOLENCE!
