Washington, D.C. – In recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Congresswoman Gwen Moore (WI-04) released the following statement:
 
"Domestic Violence Awareness Month is time for all Americans to unite in support of those who have been victimized through partner abuse, exploitation, and aggression. Domestic violence doesn’t discriminate; it impacts the lives of every American, regardless of party affiliation, economic, or social distinctions. 
 
"Every week this month, our office has posted resources, links, and stories about the struggle faced by those whose lives have been effected by this reprehensible practice. We’ve highlighted the complexities in our legal justice system, underscored the shocking statistics of intimate partner violence in the LGBTQ community, and promoted the noble work of our local businesses in raising money for critical domestic violence education programs.
 
"As we conclude Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we must remain steadfast in our efforts to educate and mobilize our communities in putting an end to this affront to human rights."
