MEDIA ADVISORY, Sept. 15 /Christian Newswire/ -- Domestic Violence Awareness Month evolved from the  first Day of Unity, which was observed in October 1981 by the National Coalition against Domestic Violence. The Day's intent was to connect battered women's advocates from across the nation. Today, various advocate groups conduct a range of activities at the local, state, and national levels.

"We all have to be responsible and accountable to get a strong message across that Domestic Violence is Wrong," states Chyna McGarity, DV Survivor & Advocate for the Purple Casket Campaign who experienced abuse over 20 years ago. The mission of the Purple Casket Campaign is to provide support for victims of Domestic Violence. We advocate the awareness of Domestic Violence by providing education and resources to the community to take a stand against it."

A shocking fact that a lot of people don't know is that every 9 seconds a woman is abused by her husband or intimate partner and every 38 seconds a man is abused by a woman or intimate partner. That's 11,874 new victims everyday or 4.3 million victims every year worldwide. This means that one in every four women you see could be a victim of domestic violence.

LOVE IS NOT ABUSE. "It's really hard to be able to get out of that type of relationship when you're in it. It's hard to see it. It's hard to just to be able to talk about it. It's not your fault. You kind of feel ashamed that you're actually going through it, but actually you'll be helping yourself more if you're able to reach out ..." These are the words of Cheryl Burke, two-time "Dancing with the Stars" champ, who recently broke her silence about domestic violence and shot a new PSA for the important social cause which can be seen at www.etonline.com/news/2010/09/90822/.
