Taken from one of our followers. Thanks Olivia! Today is Wednesday - which means I’m wearing PURPLE to show my support for survivors of Domestic Violence. Between 21 and 60% of victims of intimate partner violence lose their jobs due to reasons stemming for their abuse. (ncadv.org)... 27% of domestic homicide victims are children. (miamidade.gov) Every 73 seconds, an American is sexually assaulted. Every 9 minutes, that victim is a child.(RAINN.org) Meanwhile, only about 5 out of every 1,000 rapists will end up in prison. Domestic Violence is carried out in a number of ways and isn’t always towards just one person in the home. Join me in wearing purple this month and I’m standing in solidarity for those impacted by domestic violence every day.

Busy day today! Register for a workshop on High Risk Factors for Domestic Violence Homicide today (10/21/20) from 1:30-2:30p.m. here: https://buffalo.zoom.us//tJ0udu6rrDsoE9d6Tmf5jeKbjCSTFKfet. You can also test your knowledge about domestic violence at 2:30pm by registering here: https://buffalo.zoom.us/j/97614056278

Members of UB's Professional Staff Senate donned purple in honor of survivors at their October meeting! Purple looks good on you #UBuffalo

Every October we share our Walk With Me bandanas so you can show support for survivors during Domestic Violence Awareness Month! Bonus: you can DIY your own face mask to show support while you keep our community safer #UBuffalo
