Center for Family Justice sponsors vigils

The Center for Family Justice, with the support of community leaders and law enforcement in the six communities it serves, has scheduled series of vigils to mark the observance of Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October. These seven vigils — first of which will take place Monday, Oct. 2 at the Bridgeport Police Department — will honor those who have been affected by intimate partner violence; raise awareness and inspire hope that the cycles of violence can be broken. The vigils will also remind local residents that domestic violence, which national statistics suggest affects one out of three women in their lifetime, is a problem in every demographic and community CFJ serves.
