AS MANY
Of YOU KNOW, October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM). As our part
in advancing the cause of DVAM, we would like to announce that for the
remainder of the month of October, 10% of all my royalties from the sale of my
book, Real Advice For The Newlywed currently on sale at Amazon.com will
be donated to NoMore.org’s campaign to end domestic violence and sexual
assault.
Some
alarming facts:
·
Nearly one in four
women in the U.S. reports experiencing violence by a current or former spouse
or boyfriend at some point in her life.
·
On average, three
women are killed every day as a result of domestic violence. More than 40
percent of female murder victims are killed by their husbands or boyfriends.
·
Data found that
women experience over two million injuries from partner violence each year.
·
Approximately 1.3
million women and 835,000 men are physically assaulted by an intimate partner
annually in the United States.
From
first page to last, Real Advice For The Newlywed was written as a guide
to help married couples navigate their way through the sometimes tempestuous
strife and turmoil many couples encounter - including the threat of physical
and emotional violence. There is one entire chapter devoted specifically on how
to handle the threat of physical and mental cruelty.
If you
haven’t yet purchased your copy of Real Advice For The Newlywed, for
yourself or as a wedding gift to a couple you know, now is the time to do so
before October ends. This is an important and vital effort to ensure the
continuation of NoMore.org’s efforts to educate and eliminate domestic violence
and sexual assault. Make it yours.
I
invite you to share this with as many of your contacts as possible.
