Domestic violence affects one in four women at some point her lifetime. Three women are killed every day at the hands of a current or former intimate partner.
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Pulaski County Prosecutor Dan Murphy and Chief Deputy Prosecutor Kelly Gaumer note that changes in economic circumstances or stress can have a devastating effect on relationships. Domestic violence can be emotional, financial, physical, or sexual.
Murphy said it’s important to recognize the signs of domestic violence and to consider what actions to take.
They urge anyone suffering from domestic violence to call 911 or the Indiana Coalition against Domestic Violence hotline at 1-800-332-7385.
