Orange Day is Mar 25

It’s the day Presbyterian Women raise awareness of exploitation of females and support work ending it. Family and domestic violence is a common problem in the US, affecting an estimated 10 million people annually, and as many as 1 in 4 women. Virtually all healthcare professionals will evaluate or treat a patient of domestic violence at some point. Domestic violence includes economic, sexual, emotional, and psychological abuse of children, adults, and elders and can be difficult to identify. Of female victims of domestic homicide, 44% visited a hospital emergency department within two years of their murder. (Domestic Violence, Martin R. Huecker, etc.) On Friday, Mar 25, wear orange or an orange ribbon to show support for workers identifying and trying to end domestic violence throughout the world.
