MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #94284
BY: Commissioner Shelley Goodman Taub
IN RE: DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS while as a society we have looked the other way, the problem
of domestic violence has grown in magnitude and gravity, permeating our entire
society, taking a toll on not only the lives of today's victims, but also
extracting a huge price from the lives of future generations who will bear the
scars, and who will continue the transmission of this violent behavior if there
is not immediate and substantial interdiction; and
WHEREAS because there are limited resources available within the public
sector to assist those families and individuals who are victims of domestic
violence, spousal abuse, and sexual assault, it is incumbent upon all of us to
work within our civic, charitable, and community organizations to provide
education to the community, support to the public agencies assisting domestic
violence victims, and direct aid to those victims; and
WHEREAS Oakland County is extremely fortunate to have a multitude of
concerned citizens who have dedicated much of their time, expertise, money and
compassion to form private agencies and support groups to aid these victims of
violence, and to lobby for needed protective laws, increased enforcement, and a
firm commitment by our community that domestic violence and spousal abuse are
crimes and will not be tolerated.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
does hereby declare that Oakland County recognizes the month of October as
Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and urges all of its citizens and community
groups to work for and support all efforts to eliminate domestic violence and
spousal abuse.
Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
