All across the country, communities join together every October to honor survivors and remember victims of domestic violence. Women Helping Women is partnering with other agencies in Hamilton County to host two events for October 2010.

Bark Out Against Battering is a fall festival highlighting the intersection between animal abuse and domestic violence. The event is on Saturday October 9th from 11am to 1pm at the SPCA 11900 Conrey Road, Cincinnati 45249.

The 23rd Annual “She Screams Without Sound” Candlelight Vigil is scheduled for Tuesday October 26th from 6:30pm to 8:30pm. This event honors women and children killed in the past year due to domestic violence.

For information on both of these events, please visit the Cincinnati Domestic Violence Awareness Month website.
