The JLU Abuse Awareness Walk - A Day to Remember.
October is National Domestic Abuse Violence Awareness Month. According to cdc.org, domestic violence is a national problem that knows no racial, religious, cultural, or economic boundaries. It not only affects those who are abused, but it may also negatively impact family, friends, co-workers, and others. Recently, Cameroonians in the U.S and Canada witnessed increased numbers of abuse related deaths, child sexual abuse cases and abuse-induced trauma stories. To advocate against the recuring deaths, many people across different states joined the #jlumovement, walked miles, and engaged in deep discussions with a goal to create awareness, show love and support to victims of abuse.
