SHOW #76: Domestic Violence & The Military

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. The victim of domestic violence in the military is predominantly the female, civilian spouse of active duty personnel. Victims normally have children and more than half have been married two years or less. Among the Services, the Army consistently has shown the highest rates of domestic violence. Abused women in military communities are often fearful of reporting incidents due to the lack of confidentiality and privacy as well as limited victim services. This week we are joined by Christine Hansen of The Miles Foundation to discuss information, warning signs, and help for domestic violence in the military.

With Pride,
