Domestic violence affects men and women around the world. Many are victims of physical, verbal or mental abuse. According to national statistics, one in three women and one in four men have been victims of domestic violence. October is domestic violence awareness month, and to commemorate that, Sigma Sigma Rho sorority held events this week to spread awareness. On Wednesday, October 21st, the sorority held an event called “Find Light Amongst Darkness. The members lit candles and read off domestic violence facts in honor of people that are victims. Priya Adusumilli, psychology and communications seinior, and president of Sigma Sigma Rho talked about why the topic of domestic violence is so important. “It’s a taboo topic, especially since domestic violence happens with people that you know and it’s like your relationships and you don’t want to mess those relationships up,” said Adusumilli “Even if you don’t talk about it there are people that care about you and they want to help and you just have to take that one step to let them help you.” Dhatri Nandyala, human biology and biomedical lab science sophomore set up the event in order to bring light to such a sensitive topic. “It was to bring light to the issue that people are so taboo about, even yesterday when we had people take a pledge against it, most people felt uncomfortable,” said Nandyala. With an issue like domestic violence, some people don’t know a lot about and who can be affected by it. The event helped open the eyes of students that may not know much about the topic.
