Hopeful Horizons hosts awareness month events
Throughout October, Beaufort’s Hopeful Horizons will be hosting events to raise awareness of domestic violence in the community, state and around the nation.
COO of Hopeful Horizons, Kristin Dubrowski, said, “South Carolina is No. 5 in the nation for the rate of women murdered by men.”
“That is a staggering statistic that needs to change and we hope that raising awareness during this month and all year long will be the first step to making that happen.”
Hopeful Horizons will display a “Clothesline Project” at the libraries in Beaufort, Colleton, Hampton and Jasper counties; and a “Wedding Gown Project” at each of the courthouses in Colleton, Hampton, and Jasper counties.
High schools in Beaufort and Jasper counties will host candlelight vigils for victims of domestic violence.
There will be events on Friday, Oct. 13, at Ridgeland/Hardeeville High School; on Oct. 20 at Whale Branch High School; and Oct. 27 at Hilton Head High School.
Several coffee shops will display informational posters and provide coffee sleeves with Hopeful Horizons’ domestic violence hotline including Common Ground in Downtown Beaufort, Pluff Mudd in Port Royal and Watusi Café on Hilton Head.
