Violence UnSilenced

Filed under Featured, Site of The Week
We are going to switch gears this week. We won’t be talking about one particular author. Instead, we will be featuring a group of people.
These people have found the strength to speak out about domestic violence and sexual assault. They have more courage than most of us could ever hope for. They are the men and women of Violence UnSilenced.
This blog was created with the sole intention of shedding light on the epidemics of domestic violence and sexual assault by giving their survivors a voice.
This blog, like domestic violence, is not limited to opposite-sex relationships. The intent is not to limit anyone at all, in fact. Domestic violence and sexual assault affect everyone they touch in myriad ways. The idea here is to enlighten the blogosphere on just how pervasive this problem is.
Please help support these brave men and women by visiting Violence UnSilenced and by taking the pledge to hear and honor what they have to say.

Wow. I never knew about this site before. I’m glad you’re showcasing this site. People, especially women, need to know what’s happening out there. It’s so much more common than people realize.
