About this listen
According to the Ohio Domestic Violence Network, the economic impact of domestic violence in Ohio is formidable, costing the state $1.2 billion annually. Yet only $20 million is allocated to combat this crisis. This discrepancy affects thousands: while nearly 10,000 Ohioans found shelter last year, over 8,000 were turned away due to capacity issues. Annually, around 188,000 experience intimate partner violence, resulting in more than 100 fatalities.
We explore the complex web connecting domestic violence with brain injuries, substance use disorders, and suicide risk. Furthermore, evolving technologies offer new methods for abuse. Nonetheless, there remains hope, as one survivor said, "After trauma, it is possible to live a life you love."
