YWCA Domestic Violence Awareness Walk & Vigil

YWCA Domestic Violence Awareness Walk & Vigil

Presented by YWCA Central Alabama at YWCA Birmingham

The YWCA of Central Alabama will hold a walk and vigil honoring victims of domestic violence at 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 18. The walk will start at the YWCA of Central Alabama at 309 23rd Street North, and go seven blocks to the 16th Street Baptist Church where we will read the names of this year’s victims. Seven blocks represent the minimum number of times it may take a woman to flee an abusive relationship. Unfortunately, Birmingham has the highest rate of domestic violence in the state. In 2017, there were 596 felony DV cases and 4,919 misdemeanor cases.
