On average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States. For one year, this equates to more than 10 million women and men. One in four women and one in nine men experience severe intimate partner physical violence, intimate partner sexual violence, and/or intimate partner stalking with impacts such as injury, fearfulness, post-traumatic stress disorder, and contraction of sexually transmitted diseases.
In addition, as many as one in four survivors have reported returning to an abusive partner out of concern for their pet.
Unfortunately, our sorority has also been impacted by this issue here in the Midwest Region, and beyond.
What We’re Asking Sorors to Do:
For those attending regional conference:
1. Bring care kit donations for mothers and children including:
- Collegiate Sorors: Feminine products (pantiliners, sanitary napkins, tampons)
