Real Wx Services Anti Abuse

There is nothing that brings more tears to our eyes at Real Wx Services then the abuse of females. Or for that matter males. But lets face facts …there are more females abused then males.

Lets look at some statistics from 2011

• Every 9 seconds in the US a woman is assaulted or beaten.

• Around the world, at least one in every three women has been beaten, coerced into sex or otherwise abused during her lifetime. Most often, the abuser is a member of her own family.

• Domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to women—more than care accidents, muggings, and rapes combined.

• Studies suggest that up to 10 million children witness some form of domestic violence annually.

• Nearly 1 in 5 teenage girls who have been in a relationship said a boyfriend threatened violence or self-harm if presented with a breakup.

• Everyday in the US, more than three women are murdered by their husbands or boyfriends.

• Ninety-two percent of women surveyed listed reducing domestic violence and sexual assault as their top concern.

• Domestic violence victims lose nearly 8 million days of paid work per year in the US alone—the equivalent of 32,000 full-time jobs.

• Based on reports from 10 countries, between 55 percent and 95 percent of women who had been physically abused by their parnterns had never contacted non-governmental organizations, shelters, or the police for help.

• The costs of intimate partner violence in the US alone exceed $5.8 billion per year: $4.1 billion are for direct medical and health care services, while productivity losses acount for nearly $1.8 billion.

• Men who as children witnessed their parents’ domestic violence were twice as likely to abuse their own wives than sons of nonviolent parents.

Folks this is a real concern across the world and in particular America. The sad fact is that it could be someone that you know and they just will not tell you!

So what we have decided to do is create a new image and product. My wife agreed to pose for the photo because this is something that she feels strongly about as well!

The image has been placed on products in the Real Wx Services online store which can be found here by clicking below:

So here is what we plan on doing. For each product of that design that is sold we are going to set aside a portion of the purchase price and donate it to the following organization against domestic violence in Allentown PA

Turning Point Of The Lehigh Valley 

We hope you will join us in this fight and help us to stop the violence. Over the days ahead we are going to be posting information that will help those that are abused and those that are trying to help those that are being abused!
