Please Join the Riverside County District Attorney Rod Pacheco in breaking the silence and bringing help, hope, and empowerment to victims of domestic violence.

 

Walk –A- Mile in Their Shoes, October 5th-7th

Launch Of the Countywide Domestic Violence Billboard Campaign

 

October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Nationwide, it is estimated that 1 in 4 women, 1 in 14 men and up to ten million children experience some type of domestic violence each year. In 2007, 119 murders were committed as a result of intimate partner violence in California. In 2009, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department reported being called out to 5, 328 domestic violence calls for service.

 

At 12 Noon, on three different days in October, at three different locations in Riverside County, domestic violence survivors, community leaders, prosecutors, law enforcement and service professionals will join together to Walk-A-Mile to protest rape, sexual assault, gender violence and raise awareness and educate our community about the devastating physical, mental and financial impact that domestic violence has on our women, men, children, neighborhoods, schools, and our entire Nation.

 

We also invite you to join us  as we launch the Countywide Domestic Violence Billboard Campaign sponsored by Verizon Foundation. The launch of the campaign will be held in conjunction with our Walk A Mile event on October 7th in downtown Riverside at 12noon.  

The campaign is designed to promote the National Domestic Violence Hotline and raise awareness as to the diverse faces and impact of domestic violence in our community. We hope to see you there!  Please see attached flyer with details.
