2nd Annual - Get Empowered
Fashion Show Luncheon
The economy is in a downturn and domestic violence is on the rise. One in every four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime and that is in a good economy. When the economy is bad, that number begins to rise.
How does this affect you and your business? Any employee may be affected by domestic violence. More than half (56 percent) of businesses surveyed were aware of employees who have been affected by domestic violence. What were the effects?
- Thirty-seven percent of women who experienced domestic violence reported that the abuse had an impact on their work in the form of lateness, missed work, keeping a job, or career promotions.
- In one study of BATTERERS, 41 percent had job performance problems and 48 percent had difficulty concentrating on the job as a result of their abusive behaviors.
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that the annual cost of lost productivity due to domestic violence equals $727.8 million, with more than $7.9 million paid workdays lost each year.
Help us keep these victims safe and self-sufficient. Help us restore their self worth and keep them productive. Your generous donation will help the Battered Women’s Shelter of Summit and Medina Counties provide the following:
- Food
- Clothing
- Finding housing or rental assistance
- Utility Assistance
- Transportation
- Safety Planning
- Trying to find employment
- Education
