October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. 1 en 3 las mujeres de Oxnard experimentarán violencia doméstica durante su vida. La violencia doméstica es un problema grave que afecta a todos y causa daños a las familias y comunidades que pueden durar generaciones.. Domestic Violence Awareness Month is an opportunity to engage our community in conversations about this issue and to show our support for those whose lives have been affected by abuse.
Every nine seconds, someone is the victim of Domestic Violence. Domestic violence is a crime that affects all races, cultures, social and economic demographics that profoundly impact our community. Community members can also take this time to learn more about preventing domestic violence and show support to our partner organizations who strive to help survivors.
El martes, Octubre 6, 2020, during the City Council Meeting, Mayor Tim Flynn presented a Proclamation designating the month of October 2020 as “Domestic Violence Awareness Month” in the City of Oxnard.
The Oxnard Police Department asks the community members to wear purple in support of domestic violence awareness. Oxnard Police civilian employees will be wearing purple on Thursdays and uniformed officers will be displaying purple ribbons on their uniforms throughout the month of October.
The Oxnard Police Department’s Family Protection Unit and our community partners dedicate themselves to domestic violence survivors. During this month, you will see the Oxnard Police Department building lit in purple to show support for survivors. The Oxnard Soroptimists donated funds for signs and a banner that is hanging near the intersection of “C” and Third Street.
