Domestic Violence within Covid Forum:Tues April 13, 7 pm via Zoom

Calls to domestic violence hotlines have spiked dramatically during the pandemic. Deaths from domestic violence incidents increased by 35% in Ohio between July 2019 and June 2020, according to the Ohio Domestic Violence Network. This increase in violence during the pandemic has also led to record numbers of people seeking help from shelters across the state.

Join the Shaker League of Women Voters on Tuesday, April 13, at 7pm for a panel discussion with experts to discuss the the impact, causes and ways to address this pandemic within the pandemic. Featuring:

• Representative Janine R. Boyd (D) District 9, Ohio House of Representatives and Co-Sponsor (w/Rep. Sara P. Cruthers (R) District 51) of House Bill 3 (Aisha's Law)
