Resolution in Recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month
WHEREAS, violence against women and children continues to become more prevalent as a social
problem as a result of the imbalance of power due to gender and age; and
WHEREAS, the problem of domestic violence is maintained by social indifference and is not confined
to any individual circumstances or groups of people, but across all economic, racial, sexual, and social
demographics; and
WHEREAS, the crime of domestic violence violates an individual's privacy, dignity, security, and
humanity, through the systematic use of physical, emotional, sexual, verbal, and economic control and/or abuse;
and
WHEREAS, the impact of domestic violence is wide ranging, directly affecting our families, our
communities and society as a whole; and
WITEREAS, the prevalence of domestic violence may be diminished by educating and empowering the
community to develop and maintain healthy relationships.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, the Board of Supervisors of the County of Butte, in
recognition of the important work done by domestic violence programs, do hereby recognize the month of
October 2014 as Domestic Violence Awareness Month and urge all citizens to participate in the scheduled
activities and programs sponsored by Catalyst Domestic Violence Services to work towards building healthy
relationships and eliminating intimate partner violence.
