Episode 9

October 5, 2020 • Gwendolyn Packard

Native women face some of the highest rates of domestic violence in the nation. Each October, advocates from tribal programs and shelters and Native organizations across the country come together to raise awareness of domestic violence during Domestic Violence Awareness Month. On this episode of Speaking Our Truth, we will talk about the origins of Domestic Violence Awareness Month and how everyone can join in the efforts to support victims and survivors of violence throughout the year.
