b'A survivor of abuse once told me, \\u201cThe more we talk, the more we\\u2019re healed, and we see it as history instead of what is still going on.\\u201d Domestic violence is not something that happens to only a few people; it\\u2019s widespread. \\xa0About 35% of women and 28% of men\\xa0in the U.S. have experienced rape, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime. Why don\\u2019t we know more know about it?\\xa0 Shhhhhh.\\xa0 It\\u2019s a secret.\\xa0 People feel shame for their abuse.\\xa0 They feel as if they\\u2019ve done something wrong.\\xa0 They feel as if they will be judged, and found wanting, if others know about it. It is time for the secrecy to stop.\\xa0 We can tell our stories, reclaim our power, use our experiences to help, to heal, to demand change in our world. \\xa0 We\\u2019ll begin Season Two with the series \\u201cFight for Justice\\u201d about Tracey Thurman, who had to sue an entire city in the 1980s to hold the police responsible for allowing her ex-husband to stalk and attack her despite her requests for police involvement in advance.\\xa0 Tracey was a young married mother when her husband, Buck gradually escalated from intermittent slaps to deadly violence.\\xa0 Tracey\\u2019s story will help us examine how society and law enforcement might fail targets of domestic violence.\\xa0 \\xa0 Facebook Page: \\xa0https://www.facebook.com/targetedpodcast/ Facebook Group: \\xa0https://www.facebook.com/groups/TargetedPodcast/ website:\\xa0 www.targetedpodcast.com email:\\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0targetedpodcast@gmail.com Twitter:\\xa0 @targetedpodcast Merchandise: We have two store now! 1.\\xa0https://targetedpodcast.threadless.com\\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0\\xa0 2. \\xa0https://www.teepublic.com/user/targetedpodcast \\xa0 Custom artwork for the Fight for Justice series done by https://www.facebook.com/UnapologeticArtist/\\xa0 Resources in the US: \\xa0 Need\\xa0help?
