This is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. During month of November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women is also being recognized. Violence against women hurts all of us. In an effort to help eliminate violence against women, the YWCA Lethbridge and District joined in 16 days of activism against gender-based violence. The campaign, led by the United Nations, is called UNITE. Lorien Johansen who is with the YWCA marketing and communications team, discusses what they are doing to help our community. According to the United Nations, last year over 51-thosand women were killed by the hands of their partners or family members. That means that one woman was killed every 10 minutes.
