October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month!
In an average month 57 women are shot to death by an intimate partner. Nearly one million women alive today have been shot or shot at by an intimate partner, and approximately 4.5 million American women alive today have been threatened with a gun by an intimate partner.
Many of these women are currently living in shelters after fleeing a domestic violence situation.
