Between two and six million women in the United States are abused ever year. More then one million American children are abused.
Domestic Violence is the number one cause of injury to women in America.
In one year, it is estimated that 1,800 out of 4,000 women in this country are killed as a result of domestic violence. Every 15 seconds of the day, somewhere in the United States, an act of domestic violence takes place. Every fifteen seconds a drum would beat to show awareness that another act of domestic violence had just been committed. Not so long ago abuse was simply ignored. People thought that what goes on in your house is your business.
