Domestic Violence in Indian Country

Join Host Rebecca Balog, Vice President of Whisper n Thunder, and Fernando Anzaldua, WnT board member, in an open dialogue on Domestic Violence in Indian Country.

Domestic violence, is a pattern of behavior which involves the abuse by one person against another .

The abuse is not limited to obvious physical violence, nor is it limited to just women being abused, men are victims too. Domestic violence can also mean endangerment, criminal coercion, kidnapping, unlawful imprisonment, trespassing, harassment, and stalking etc.

“It takes a village to end domestic violence, not the simple strength of one person behind closed doors.  In saying that bold statement, we ALL should acknowledge the independent bravery one faces when surviving abuse.  That said, we ALL are responsible for ending violence in our communities.   If you saw your neighbor’s house on fire you would help, and when an individual’s world is burning down around them in a domestic assault - it’s the same reality. “ ~ Rebecca Balog
