This quote is from the website organization of South Carolinian Against Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault. The organization started in 1981, and has been helping victims ever since. SCCADVASA is organization that is statewide and promotes an awarness on communitiy on issues, policy , and legislatin that regards Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault. They service and shelter victims; who have been victimized and assaulted in abusive relationships. SCCADVASA participated in the April Sexual Assault Awareness Month and the October Domestic Awareness Month. Moreover, dating violence and domestic violence can lead to sexual abuse; which the abuser can sexual assault or rape their victims. Approximately 1 in 5 female high school students report being physically or sexually abused by a dating partner. The SCCADVARSA website gives information to teens and women about signs of abuse and hotline numbers in their area to call. I have seen posters around the Horry Georgetown Technical College on about domestic violence or sexual assault and numbers to call for help. I have taken a sheet of paper off the one of the posters; which had the SCCAGVARSA and the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence hotline numbers. I was surprised to see posters around campus on the awareness of teen dating and domestic violence and how there are local areas that teens or adults can call in this agencies to get help or advice on abusive relationships.
