Did You Know?

• Every 9 seconds a woman in the United States is assaulted or beaten.
• 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men have been victims of physical violence by an intimate partner within their lifetime.
• 1 in 3 individuals is a victim of dating abuse.

It takes a Jewish woman 3 to 5 times as long to leave an abusive relationship than non-Jewish women.

Each year Jewish women in Broward County experience domestic abuse. It takes on many forms and too often the abuse impacts children, parents and siblings. The trauma it causes is life-changing.

That’s why Goodman JFS is embarking on a campaign to raise awareness – and funds – to break the myth, the silence, and the cycle of abuse.

The Domestic Abuse Program provides individual counseling, case management, group therapy, community education and prevention, and the interactive “Your Voice, Your Choice” Dating Abuse Workshop.

Please support the Goodman JFS Domestic Abuse Campaign today. Our clients need us now more than ever to ensure that every Jewish home is a safe and peaceful place.

The only thing worse than domestic abuse is doing nothing about it.
