In a recent 12 month period, at least 25 Kentucky women died at the hands of male intimate partners. For decades, law enforcement, governments and social service agencies have worked to increase awareness and prevention of such violence. That effort continues during this year’s observance of Domestic Violence Month.
We're interested in hearing your opinion of how to deal with domestic violence and your story of how such violence among partners or other family members has touched your life. Send an email in advance of Thursday morning to wekueasternstandard (at) gmail dot com, post on Facebook, tweet us @889weku or call our Listener Line at 859-622-1657.
Guests: Jane Beshear, First Lady of Kentucky; Darlene Thomas, President of the Kentucky Domestic Violence Association and Executive Director of GreenHouse17, the domestic violence program serving 17 counties in central Kentucky; and Rep. John Tilley of KY House District 8.
