Articles on Domestic Violence

A woman is beaten every 15 seconds. Domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to women between ages 15 and 44 in the United States…more than car accidents, muggings, and rapes combined. Domestic violence is not something that happens only to women, many men are subjected to abuse as well.

CRE recognizes that domestic violence is a complex problem and that physical and emotional abuse is a serious obstacle to stable and healthy relationships. An important message to convey in all aspects of NWA Healthy Marriages is that individuals involved in healthy relationships do not engage in violent, abusive, or coercive behavior.
