52. Domestic Violence Awareness Month

[Trigger Warning: This episode talks about sensitive topics such as domestic violence and crimes.]

 

Did you know that nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the U.S. During one year,, this equates to more than 10 million women and men. 

In this episode, we talk about what is domestic violence to us and hat is the definition. Students share their personal experiences regarding intimate partner violence. We look at recent statistics and lack of resources. We look deeper into social media's role with domestic violence and whether it's positive or or negative.
