HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 10152013 - C.12RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Resolution No. 2013/350 proclaiming October 2013 as "Domestic Violence Awareness Month," as
recommended by Supervisor Glover.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None
BACKGROUND:
Violence against women and children continues to become more prevalent as a social problem
particularly during times of economic hardship. The problems of domestic violence are not confined to any group or
groups of people but cross all economic, racial, sexual orientation and societal barriers and are supported by societal
indifference.
The County works to raise awareness so individuals will become advocates, and will take action to end domestic
violence in their communities. The County’s Zero Tolerance for Domestic Violence Initiative works to interrupt the
generational, traumatic and progressive cycle of violence by fostering partnerships with numerous public and private
agencies to provide services and support to families and individuals experiencing domestic violence.
