How Can We Help Victims of Domestic Violence?

The "Ask Dr. Annie Abram" radio show!
In recognition of October as National Domestic Violence Awareness Month tune in today at 12:30 - 1:00 PM to listen to my interview with Lisa Smith, a professor at Brooklyn Law School.

How can it be that world wide 1 in 3 women have been victims of domestic violence? What does that mean about our society? How can we safely help our loved ones who are living in a household where the power and control of women (most often) and children are a way of life? How can we support women to free themselves of this life-threatening situation? What legal procedures are in place to help end this problem which ultimately affects all of us? http://bit.ly/15Xm0j1
