And, of course, I feel I should remind folks that domestic violence is not always a situation where a man is abusing a woman. Women can also be abusers. Sadly, all humans have the potential to become abusers. But there is hope for healing, whether you are the one being hurt, or the one doing the hurting.

So, on that note, I'd like to remind everyone that April 14 is the 20th annual Safe Place Walk.

from their Walk Details page:

Who: SafePlace Walkers are members of the Austin community who wish to honor survivors of sexual and domestic violence. They are also people who want to contribute to SafePlace's mission to end sexual and domestic violence through safety, healing, prevention and social change.

What: The 20th Anniversary SafePlace Walk is a great opportunity to join us (if you haven't done the Walk before) or to celebrate your continued commitment to a community free of rape, sexual abuse and domestic violence.

The SafePlace Walk is a major fundraiser supporting our programs which provide safety, healing, prevention and social change for the Austin area.

Where: Waterloo Park (403 East 15th Street, between Trinity and Red River)
