"MONSTERS" VIDEO - IMPACT
OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ON CHILDREN & FAMILIES
"MONSTERS" portrays the
alarming impact of domestic violence on families and children, as seen through
the eyes of a young girl. Studies suggest that between
3.3 million and 10 million children
witness some form of domestic violence each year.
The video notes that girls who
witness abuse are more likely to be abused later in life, and boys are twice as
likely to abuse their own partners -- "because that's the world they
know."
MONSTERS is produced and funded by
the Verizon Foundation and supported by the National Domestic Violence Hotline.
