HRC & Human Resources Foundation joined Victims Intervention Program in Honesdale Central Park in remembrance of all those who died in Wayne County due to domestic violence. Domestic violence is an important issue that resonates strongly with individuals in the human services field. Unfortunately, statistics show that individuals with disabilities are nearly twice as likely to experience domestic violence in their lifetime than those unafflicted with a disability. According ...the US Department of Justice, police only respond to about 77% reports of domestic abuse when victims are identified as individuals with disabilities. In investigated cases, only 10% of perpetrators were arrested. Thank you, VIP, for supporting victims in the community and helping them to escape potentially life-threatening situations.
