Violence Against Women

When the economy is bad, people get stressed out and violent crimes against women increase. In a March 2011 Mary Kay, truth about abuse survey, there were alarming trends in light of the economy decline since 2008.
80% of domestic violence shelters nationwide report an increase in women seeking assistance from abuse.
73% of shelters attribute this rise in abuse to "financial issues".
56 % of shelters note the abuse is more violent now than before the economic downturn.

This is only part of the story. Women in general are targeted for violent crime including rape, mugging and murder. Are there options ? Yes!
It is important for companies, women's associations and schools to offer Personal Safety Training for all women. For more information on Empowering Personal Safety Training contact;
