Fremont has had five homicides in 2006 and a recent suicide. In the past two weeks alone, Fremont saw two incidents of domestic violence spin out of control and into deadly headlines. Domestic violence is a crime that often goes unreported until it reaches a deadly level.
Experts from Narika, SEMAH, the Afghan Coalition, and SAVE will elaborate on the underlying issues present in all cases of domestic violence and call for community support in addressing the need for education and other prevention activities to stop domestic violence before it starts.
We invite you to join us to memorialize the victims and to help us to shed light on addressing and preventing domestic violence.
