Two things
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month but did you know that it’s also Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Well, not yet officially.
I always think of October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month because when I worked at the shelter, the first Saturday in October was a big conference. I believe that’s when we held the Take Back the Night march but I could be mixed up about that.
The problem with making October the official month for domestic violence awareness is that it means that two issues extremely important to women everywhere will be competing for media time. That kinda bites.
