[nfb-talk] Domestic violence Division?

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

I might be wrong about this, but this year or last, wasn't there a class
on defence at NFB National?

Hello, Folks,
If we mean domestic violence as it is usually defined (violence between
intimate partners), it's certainly the case that women with any kind of
disability are more vulnerable than general statistics might suggest.
I'm not sure if a division as such is what is needed, but it would be
nice to know if the NFB has any kind of resources for women caught in
such relationships.
Peace,

Sheri W-J
