October marked Domestic Violence Awareness Month, a critical time to unite and shed light on this pervasive issue, but awareness is needed year-around. Abuse is a risk factor for incarceration among women. This former Center for Women resident and domestic violence survivor’s powerful testimony serves as a beacon of hope, inspiring us to understand and help stop cycles of abuse. Let’s continue to raise awareness, support survivors, and work towards a world where everyone feels safe, loved, and free from violence. #CCT #CenterForCommunityTransitions #CenterForWomen #DomesticViolenceAwareness #testimony #nonprofit #incarceration #deportation #redefiningjustice #charlotte #justiceinvolved #behavioralhealth #family #awareness #hope
