Give TODAY on #GivingTuesday

Your 2018 #GivingTuesday dollars go to fund The Refuge Center for Counseling's programs for victims of domestic and sexual violence.

• One in three women and one in four men have been victims of physical violence or stalking by an intimate partner, according to a 2010 Centers for Disease Control report.
• Violence against women occurs predominantly behind closed doors at home with most cases having never been reported to police.
• The risk of perpetrating intimate partner violence as an adult is two times greater for those who were abused or witnessed their mother being abused during their own childhood. Likewise, the risk of becoming a victim of domestic violence as a teen or adult is greatly increased when young people are raised in households where abuse is present.
