Please Help Spread the Word!
The Virginia Sexual and Domestic Violence Action Alliance has developed a plan for helping children who have been affected by sexual and domestic violence. The action takes place during this year's General Assembly, but they need your help. V Magazine for Women is helping to get the word out to its readers and other Virginia residents, hoping we can work together to alleviate this need.
In the United States, approximately 7 to 14 million children are exposed to domestic violence each year, an estimated 300,000 in Virginia alone. These young people are at great risk for depression, anger, difficulties in school, withdrawal, problems sleeping, substance use/abuse, and difficulty developing or maintaining relationships. In Virginia, currently no funding is dedicated to serving these children and youth who access the services of Virginia’s sexual and domestic violence agencies.
To address this need, the Virginia Sexual & Domestic Violence Action Alliance, Virginia’s coalition of individuals and organizations working to address sexual and domestic violence, has created a means of funding that will not tax the public or stress state budgets, to help support services for children and youth services who have been exposed to sexual or domestic violence.
For information on the plan and how you can help, go to www.myvmagazine.com/index.php/Community-Activism/take-action.html.
