One in Three

After doing some research on the internet, and finding an improptu show on KET addressing domestic violence during a flip through of the channels, I must amend my last blog.  The correct statistic is that 1 in 3 women will experience domestic violence.  The state of Kentucky holds a higher level than the national average for domestic violence.  One in three - and remember - domestic violence is the most UNDERREPORTED crime; my guess is you personally know someone who is a victim but you may not be aware they are experiencing this penetrating crime.  Two websites I have found to be of help are: www.kdva.org and www.marybyronproject.org.  Tons of helpful information, resources, and links.
