"Week Without Violence"
I am saddened. The City Council continues to twist and mince words. The bottom line and in simple English is -
YES, THEY DECRIMINALIZED DOMESTIC VIOLENCE within the city of Topeka.
See some of the other posts on this site.
They want to be called hero's? They are cowards.
They think that they know what is best for domestic violence victims? They are wrong.
The YWCA begins its week with out violence in the First City in the Nation to decriminalize Domestic Violence. See event here: and please be sure to attend the March on Friday where all the State, City and County Gov. officials will be leading the March.
KEEP WRITING the city council (express your outrage over their thoughtless and heartless repeal of Dv) and Write the city commissioners we need the DA's office funded! We need help!!
The Attorney General Derek Schmidt knows that Domestic Violence Victims will suffer (MORE than they have already) from budget cuts and reduced staff in DA office.
As for all those on the City Council who voted to repeal ban -- “You have not helped us “- You have hurt us -even more.
Happy "Week with out Violence" in honor of "National Domestic Violence Awareness Month".
Topeka has become an 'abuser' to battered women as well as an already broken system and sympathy for abusers. Be ashamed, be very ashamed.
