[Abesoutheast] FW: [WomenLiteracy 582] National Domestic Violence Awareness Month

[Miller, Mev]

October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Some of you may
want to know where you can find resources to use in the classroom. 

I recommend Take on the Challenge by Elizabeth Morrish, Judy Hofer &
Jenny Horsman.  It offers both an analysis of the effects of violence on
learning as well as a practical collection of ideas and activities from
a wide variety of settings, including corrections, ABE, GED, native
language literacy, ESOL, welfare-to-work, and homeless shelter programs.
You can download it here:

And you can also borrow the hard copy from the SABES Library:

For national information, also have a look at:

Here are some statistics taken from the above:

Around the world, at least 1 in 3 women will either be physically or
sexually abused during her lifetime.
