End Domestic Violence!
Take Action by Writing to your State Representatives!
Importance of Rape Kit Testing
Writing to pass comprehensive legislation that will address our state's lack of accountability regarding the rape kits waiting around in police and crime lab storage facilities can make a big difference in someone's world. Such legislation would ensure the counting, tracking and timely testing of every kit booked into evidence and connected with a reported rape. Our law enforcement agencies must commit to investigating rape cases thoroughly and moving more cases forward to prosecution. This critical investment will save lives, prevent suffering and make our communities safer.
Rape Kit's Purpose
- identify an unknown assaulter and approve the existence of a known suspect
- can confirm the survivor's explanation of the attack and ill repute the suspect

Creating Loving Environments
Domestic Violence is morally unjust in being that the rights and dignity of people are being violated by those who don’t understand this concept. A cohesive and operational family is essential for healthy development in one’s life. Creating obstacles through abuse, verbal abuse, or disregard for other’s feelings creates a feeling of sorrow and unhappiness that no child or adult deserves. Understanding that these victims need help is an idea linked with call to community. God calls us to care for our “brothers and sisters of Christ” in order to continue to promote the common good and help one another out in times of need.
We learn our first words, right from wrong, and how to forgive all within the walls of a home. Constructing an environment where violence is absolutely under no circumstance ever the answer can help to decrease the rate of children building up so much irritation inside them where they end up taking it out on others as an adult. Having a loving and sympathetic family can help children grow to love one another and show respect to those around them. It’s essential to help children understand moral from immoral actions and thoughts.Follow on Twitter! Sign the Petition!
