Welcome to the third month of the Social Justice Challenge. This month’s focus is on Domestic Violence and Child Abuse. A HUGE subject matter and sadly, one you won’t have any trouble finding any books, fiction or non-fiction, that address this awful plague. Take some time and look around the page set up with book, media and website recommendations. Decide what you’d like to read, watch or learn about this month. If you have more recommendations for us, let us know. Stay tuned here on the blog as I’ll be featuring a few posts about this topic.
Let’s start out this month with asking a few questions to get your mind thinking. Feel free to answer these questions or your own free thoughts on your blog (leave your post url in the Mr. Linky below) or here in the comments.
- What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of domestic violence and child abuse?
- What does domestic violence and child abuse mean to you personally?
- What is your current knowledge of domestic violence and child abuse?
- Are you aware of the resources available for men, women and children who find themselves in domestic violence and child abuse situations?
- Have you chosen a book or resource to read for this month?
- Take some time and think about what potential action steps you could take. (I’ll have a post dedicated to this shortly).
I look forward to hearing your responses and finding out what books you’ll be reading.
