Domestic Violence Awareness Month

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Intimate partner violence will touch the lives in two out of every five women in America. That holds true here in Washtenaw County, as well. For decades now, the issue has been brought out in the open, yet it remains a public health crisis. WEMU's David Fair spoke with SafeHouse Center executive director, Christine Watson, about raising more awareness and activism.

It is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, so you may see more people wearing purple. It serves as a symbol of peace, courage, survival, honor, and personal dedication to domestic violence awareness. WEMU's David Fair checked in with the executive director of Safehouse Center in Washtenaw County for a picture of what is happening locally. Christine Watson is the guest on this week's edition of "Washtenaw United."
