DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS
Domestic violence is a pattern of abusive behavior in any relationship that is used by one partner to gain or maintain power and control over another intimate partner. Over their lifetime, 1 in 5 women and 1 in 7 men experience severe physical violence by an intimate partner. The Gwinnett County Solicitor General's Office wants to change those statistics by bringing awareness and education to the community regarding support and resources available to serve survivors and victims who may be experiencing domestic abuse.
