Final Project Draft

       For my final project I would like to present the topic “How to Raise Awareness About Domestic Violence.” Raising domestic violence awareness can help victims find professional counseling and prevent more people from getting hurt. Expressing how far this issue reaches may involve educating the community about different types of domestic violence, participating in organizations that campaign against domestic violence, and speaking out against acts of violence. 

My plan is to distribute educational material and local resources. Light educational materials like brochures and pamphlets are an easy way to spread information about domestic violence within your community. You can gather brochures at most domestic violence shelters.

The material should include statistics that outline how prevalent domestic violence is. While national statistics can be eye-opening, local numbers can have more of an impact as they show your neighbors how it affects them. Contact information about how to access hotlines, local domestic violence shelters, and where to volunteer should also be included to motivate action.

     I will be creating pamphlets as well as distributing them in local areas and many coffee shops, churches, and community centers will let you leave some behind if you ask. My main goals is to help people who go through this difficult time and to inform others in the importance of this topic that sadly effects many lives daily.
