Wyoming Domestic Violence

According to an article by Caroline Ballard for Wyoming Public Media Statewide Network, the homicide rate from domestic violence in Wyoming ranges from 1 to 6 or 7 murders in any given year. But there’s room for hope. Every Wyoming county does have some kind of domestic abuse safe house.

 

Wyoming domestic violence is never a private matter.



At the beginning and end of every day, we are accountable to the domestic violence and sexual assault programs in Wyoming and the victims they serve. The work of the WCADVSA centers around social justice and grassroots efforts, the analysis of the oppression of women and other disenfranchised groups, the values of peer support and policy change, and in expanding leadership roles.

  • Domestic violence articles to help you better understand the problem in Wyoming:  

    There is no doubt that a child who witnesses violence between parents or caretakers is at a very high risk of transmitting violent behavior from one generation to the next.

    Recognizing the warning signs of an abusive relationship is one thing, but having the courage to do something about it is yet another. Women who feel they are in an abusive relationship should reach out to their friends and family. 
     
    Domestic violence continues to be the most under reported crime in the United States and its tragic affects are felt in every state and in every community. In most states, we have stronger laws protecting animals than we do in protecting women and children in violent relationships. 
     
    I had heard about domestic violence, but all I knew was that it existed and not very much of anything else. As I made that drive, I kept asking myself, "OK, now that you have made this decision to go get her, what do you do next?"

    As each one of us walks life's road, we must understand that each spiritual journey will be different. Our spiritual life can be as unique as our fingerprints. It is a mistake to judge another person's path against your own. In order for us to become what we want to be, we must learn to accept ourselves at the very place in life where we are right now.
