Epidemic of Family Violence
• 1 in 4 women will know family violence in her lifetime
• 1 in 3 teenage girls will be physically assaulted by a
boyfriend
• 50% of girls growing up in an abusive home become
victims of abuse themselves
• 20,000 calls regarding domestic violence each year to
Dallas PD - fewer than 200 safe shelter beds available
each night
