Domestic Violence Awareness Month Symposium

In recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Neighborhood Service Organization (NSO) and the Michigan Coalition to End Domestic and Sexual Violence (MCEDSV) present the “Equity and Justice for Survivors,” a Domestic Violence Awareness Symposium. The event sheds light on domestic violence, the staggering disparities surrounding support for victims of domestic violence, and the importance of collective action to support survivors–including required training of law enforcement and other representatives. Black women face domestic violence at rates 30-50% higher than their white counterparts. WDIV-TV’s Kimberly Gill will serve as moderator and Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib as the keynote speaker.
