(NOTE: this blog is limited to incidents that appear in the media and are captured by our search terms. We recognize this is not an exhaustive portrayal of all deaths resulting from intimate violence.) When is society going to realize intimate violence makes victims of us all?

It is time that we bring more awareness to domestic violence and do something to stop it. There is an event www.soulofawomanexpo.com to be held on October 3rd in Independence, OH. Let's band together and do something to stop the violence!
