End Domestic Violence Vote on Facebook to build Culturally Diverse Women’s Centers and Domestic Violence Shelters
The Issue : Violence does not discriminate. Every 9 seconds a woman – regardless of race, class, or academic achievement – is battered in the US. 1 in every 4 women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime and 1.3 million women experience it every year. Most cases go unreported due to fear – fear of being alone, fear of further violence, and/or fear for the children’s safety. The Jakara Movement hopes to be a part of the solution to domestic violence.
With government funding dwindling and violence against women on the rise, now more than ever is the time for action.
