I work in the domestic violence field and victims are so often protrayed as low income. These are great examples of how domestic violence affects women of all education and income levels and I'll use it it in the trainings I offer for businesses on how to effectively encourage employees to come forward and address the problem proactively.

With the economic downturn, it's all the more important to point out the likely increase in discussions erupting into violence as a result of constrained finances, work pressures or lack thereof, and personal responsibilities.

Thank you also for highlighting the great work that members of the Corporate Alliance to End Partner Violence (CAEPV) and SafeWork 2010 are doing to address it. It is not difficult for employers to do something about an issue that impacts 21% of their full-time workforce. And in this economy, it is more important than ever.
