Well, the 13 Days Of Christmas Campaign Against Child Abuse and Domestic Violence has started again.
John Derringer, morning radio talk show host at Q107FM in Toronto, raises funds every year which are used to ensure that children who have been the victims of abuse and adults who have been the victims of domestic violence as well as their families can enjoy a better Christmas.
Derringer is a philanthropist here in Toronto and is on the Board of Directors of the Canadian Center for Abuse Awareness.
This fund raising campaign is on behalf of both CCAA and the Martin Kruze Memorial Foundation.
Child Abuse of all kinds, Bullying and Domestic Violence are terrible crimes.
It's up to us as a society to help, to be aware that there are other children out there suffering, and make these children, as well as adult survivors of Child Abuse and victims of Domestic Violence a priority.
Preventing Child Abuse, Bullying and Domestic Violence is everyone's responsibility.
Please note that Domestic Violence is not a gender issue. Both men and women can be and are victims. We don't have good statistics on the number of men who are abused because men don't report this crime out of embarrassment and a lack of social support.
