Statistics show 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men in Utah will experience domestic violence, which is higher than the national average.
Shonie Christensen, domestic violence advocate and survivor, speaks during a press event for Domestic Violence Awareness Month at the Capitol in Salt Lake City on Monday. Oct. 2 was declared Domestic Violence Awareness Day in Utah. SALT LAKE CITY — October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and Utah Gov. Spencer Cox designated Monday as Domestic Violence Awareness Day in the Beehive State.
As part of the designated awareness day, an event highlighting the need to raise awareness and support survivors of domestic violence was held Monday at the Utah State Capitol. Christiansen shared her story of being raised in a home with various forms of domestic violence, though at the time she thought the treatment she received was normal.
"I'm so grateful for all the work that has happened, but we're not done yet. We work continually throughout the year to look at what legislation needs to come forward and ways that we can help support and help end domestic violence in our state," Campbell said."To those who may be experiencing violence, please know that you're not alone ... For those who may be using violence, there is help for you as well," Campbell said.
