December 6th is the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.
Carol Lynn Gamblin from the Charlotte County Abuse Prevention Network tells Tide News the violence that is most prevalent in our communities today is domestic. She says, "The ability to be able to provide for yourself or for your children unfortunately leaves a lot of women feeling they can not leave an abusive or violent relationship."
St. Andrews will be hosting a tribute in honor of women we've lost to domestic violence.
Gamblin tells us the "Hour of Rememberance and Hope" is a chance to think about our own loved ones and consider reaching out to those in need.
The tribute will be held at the Wesley United Church, located at 77 William Street in St. Andrews, tonight at 7pm.
