美高梅博彩举办家庭暴力意识月活动
VALDOSTA - 美高梅博彩 will host a series of
events in support of Domestic Violence Awareness Month this
October. Through these opportunities, local abuse victims can share
their experiences, together sending powerful messages of courage,
hope and survival.
This year's slogan, "Peace Begins at Home," is a reminder that this
form of violence - whether physical, verbal, emotional or sexual -
affects all members of a family and is not restricted by race,
sexual orientation or social and economic factors.
下面列出的是vs上家庭成员可以参与的方式。
Call (229) 249-4842 for more information about any of these
events.
紫丝带和意识按钮，10月1日至31日
Each year, the campus community honors victims of domestic violence by wearing purple ribbons, which serve as a unifying symbol of courage, survival, honor and dedication to ending intimate partner violence. At various locations throughout October, purple ribbons will be distributed for vs上 faculty, staff and students to wear in support of healthy relationships and opposition of domestic abuse.
Women's and Gender Studies Program representatives will kick-off the Purple Ribbon Campaign by passing out ribbons and educational fliers Thursday, Oct. 1, at the University Center breezeway and the pedestrian mall. They will also sell buttons that display messages against domestic violence, sexism and other forms of discrimination.
Ribbons can also be acquired at Hildegard's downtown on the corner of North Patterson Street and Central Avenue and at Carswell Hall on North Oak Street as well. Awareness buttons can be purchased for $.卡斯韦尔大厅50人； proceeds will go to creating new and maintaining existing awareness programs within Women's and Gender Studies.

晾衣绳计划，10月5日至9日
Because there is no statement more compelling than personal experience, vs上's annual Clothesline Project will break through the silence surrounding violence against women by giving victims a stage to tell their stories. The exhibit will feature t-shirts decorated by domestic violence victims and survivors or their loved ones to represent a personal tragedy or message against abuse.
Clotheslines strung publicly on campus will hold the stories of pain and healing. Guests are invited to walk through the exhibit and bear witness to the tragedy that has occurred for people in the Valdosta area.
On display every October during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the Clothesline Project focuses on healing for survivors of violence, educating the public about domestic abuse, and preventing future violence against women. The t-shirts were made from vs上 students, faculty, staff and people from the Valdosta community.

《家庭暴力》/《西班牙裔遗产》，10月6日
Dr. Irasema Coronado, associate professor and associate provost at the University of Texas at El Paso, will address the vs上 community at a special lecture at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 6, in the Bailey Science Center Auditorium.
Appropriately timed during Domestic Violence Awareness and Hispanic Heritage months, her presentation, "Gender Issues on the U.S.-Mexico Border," will cover issues related to domestic violence and gender quality in the region surrounding the boundary between these two countries.
Co-chair of the Coalition Against Violence Toward Women and Families on the U.S.-Mexico Boarder, Coronado holds a Ph.D. in Political Sciences from the University of Arizona and other degrees in Latin American studies. She has co-authored a book titled, "Fronteras No Mas: Toward a Social Justice at the U.S.-Mexico Boarder," as well as several academic articles related to comparative politics and her research in border politics, cross-border cooperation, environmental and gender issues in the U.S.-Mexico border region.

手印项目，10月26-28日
Men have their chance to speak out against intimate partner violence via the annual Hand Print Project, which will be on display Oct. 26-28 on the pedestrian mall. The endeavor challenges men to pledge they will not commit or condone any form of violence and seal the promise by placing their handprints and names on a display board.
This public demonstration reminds men that they are also impacted by sexual violence and encourages them to abstain from behaviors - such as the use of derogatory names - that perpetuate a sexually violent culture.
