Nearly 5.3 million incidents of domestic violence occur each year in the U.S. These result in 2 million reported injuries and at least 1,300 deaths annually.  25% of all women and 7.6%of all men, age 18 and up, have either been physically assaulted or raped by a partner or date in their lifetime.  Still embedded in our culture is the attitude that the victim somehow triggered the event.  On today's program we will do our best to reset attitudes and empower victims to reach out for help.  We will speak with Joanne Rodda and Elizabeth Grant, both former   victims of domestic abuse who did just that and saved their own lives.
