SALT LAKE CITY — October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and advocates across the country are sharing statistics on how many people experience domestic violence.
According to the National Coalition of Domestic Violence, one in three women and one in four men have been victims of some sort of physical violence by a partner in their lifetime.
Experts say just being informed can help put an end to violent trends.
