Rejected petition To have domestic violence taught in the educational system
More details
The Freedom & Empowerment Campaign is a non-profit organisation for domestic violence. Our aim is to fight to have domestic violence taught in the educational system along side the sex educational classes.
The facts state that over 2 women a week die at the hands of an abusive partner and over 750,000 children a year witness domestic violence within the home, also 21 men lost their lives in 2011 to abusive partners.
We need to teach the younger generation what is right and what is wrong in relationships, this could save the lives of the younger generation.
It's not just in this country , this it's a massive global issue.
