National Survey on Childrens Exposure to Violence
California Leadership Group Releases 2010 Report
The Office of Family Violence Prevention’s Family Violence Prevention Officer serves as a member of the California Leadership Group on Domestic Violence and Child Maltreatment. On January 19, 2011, the Leadership Group released its first comprehensive report to address the state’s abused parents and children. The Leadership Group also serves as the work group on domestic violence for the State Interagency Team on Children and Families (SIT), which endorsed the report.
Domestic violence continues to plague the state – according to the California Women’s Health Survey, more than 22 percent of women have experienced physical or sexual assault, and more than 18 percent reported witnessing violence against their mothers when they were children. But domestic violence does not just affect the victim; of those experiencing domestic violence, more than 75% had children under age 18 living at home. Extrapolating from national estimates, approximately 1,240,000 of California’s children may be exposed to domestic violence in two-parent families, more than half a million in families where the violence is considered severe. This violence can have a lasting impact. To view the complete report, please click on the link below:
