Challenge Project 2020-2022
The Challenge Project for 2020-2022 is Domestic and Sexual Violence Awareness and Prevention. Our goal is to increase awareness and to help prevent domestic abuse and violence against women. 43.9% of NC Women experience intimate partner physical violence, intimate partner sexual violence, or intimate partner stalking in their lifetimes. (CDC 2014 statistics). Nearly half of all female homicide victims in the US are killed by a current or former male intimate partner. (Bureau of Justice Statistics).
