HopeWorks of Howard County issued the following announcement on Aug. 2.
Around the world, 1 in 3 women have been physically or sexually abused by their partner, according to the World Health Organization. Forty percent of all women murdered each year are killed by their intimate partner. In some countries, more than half of women say they've been victims of abuse.
This is an amazing step forward for survivors of DV in New Zealand. We need something like this in the U.S. as a national policy! #SupportSurivivors
