(Season 5) Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Awareness -- It's About Power & Control

In this episode, we're talking about Domestic Violence Awareness Month and Sexual Assaults. As we post this podcast online, we're right in the heat of the government shutdown in the U.S. Two of the major reasons for this shutdown have to do with power and control. Our elected officials (Democrats and Republicans) are letting us down and abusing the power they have in their positions. Transitioning to our show topic, abuse and control issues are significant parts of domestic violence and sexual assaults. This October, we're asked to TAKE BACK THE NIGHT. Let's do that very thing by helping victims take back the control in their lives and by educating one another that physical abuse is a big part of domestic violence but that there are many other types of domestic violence that occur EVERY DAY that we all need to know about. Take a stand against domestic violence! Tune in this show to learn about the different types domestic violence and what and your loved ones can do if you find yourself in troubling situations and need help.   http://straighttalkwithcathy.com http://twitter.com/straighttalkpod
