During a recent government meeting, Worcester resident Dina Tedeschi urged local officials and community members to participate in an upcoming event aimed at raising awareness for National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Scheduled for Saturday, October 12th, from 11 AM to 1 PM at Worcester Common, the event is organized in partnership with Survivors Taking Action Together (STAT) and the YWCA, under the Worcester Community Connections Coalition (WCCC).

Tedeschi emphasized the importance of addressing domestic violence, highlighting that one in four women and girls will experience it in their lifetime. She described the event as a crucial opportunity to \"break the silence\" surrounding this pervasive issue, which often goes unspoken in communities. The gathering will feature a walk, a rally, and informational tables, all designed to foster dialogue and support for those affected by domestic violence.

The event is free and open to the public, and Tedeschi encouraged attendees to engage in various activities to help raise awareness. For those seeking additional information or support, she directed them to contact Ambureau, whose details are available on the U Inc 7 Hills website. Tedeschi concluded her invitation by stressing the collective responsibility to confront and address domestic violence in the community.
