October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Wear your pink to represent fear of Breast Cancer - yet hope for the future. October is also Domestic Violence Awareness Month. U.S. Department of Justice estimates that 1.3 million women and 835,000 men are victims of physical violence by a partner every year. One-in-four men are victims of some form of physical violence by an intimate partner. Wear your purple to symbolize peace, survival, honor and personal dedication against domestic violence.
