Domestic Abuse
Judith Ewing. Vital Speeches of the Day. New York: Dec 2006. Vol. 72, Iss. 26; pg. 793, 2 pgs
Abstract (Summary)
A speech by Judith Ewing, abuse counselor and deacon of Christ Episcopal church, is presented. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. This year it was launched with the most tragic event people have experienced in many years: the murder of a wife and her four children by her husband. On the steps of the State House in Columbia, on Oct 2, 33 life-sized cutouts depicting the 32 people who had lost their lives due to domestic violence and one to honor those who are unknown victims, were held by family and friends to honor the memory of those who had died. Thirty-two people died by the hands of someone who professed to love them. Domestic abuse is insidious; it escalates sometimes slowly, sometimes rapidly. So often the abused party cries in silence, suffers in private. Partner violence is largely caused by a need for power and control. » Jump to indexing (document details)
