Starr County Judge Eloy Vera and Starr County Commissioners approve a “ZERO TOLERANCE FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE” Proclamation - Starr County. October is designated as Domestic Violence Awareness Month and the proclamation states “Whereas, as County Judge, I personally make the commitment to have a “Zero Tolerance Attitude for Domestic Violence” thus sending the message that all citizens have the basic human right to live violence free” states Judge Eloy Vera. The proclamation al...so states the following: Domestic Violence should never be considered nor treated as socially acceptable behavior, an estimated one (1) woman is battered by her intimate partner every 15 seconds, an average of about four (4) women are murdered due to domestic violence each and every day in the United States, an abuser may try to kill his/her partner if the victim tries to leave, children in homes where domestic violence is occurring are more like to be physically abused or seriously neglected and are more likely to commit crimes against another person or even commit suicide. Starr County Victims of Domestic Violence Assistance Program headed by Starr County Attorney Mr. Victor Canales and his staff will kick off this year’s campaign with a vigil to promote awareness and to honor the lives of victims lost to domestic violence. The Advocates of Victims of Domestic Violence work diligently to inform the community of the effects of these types of crimes and promote awareness to encourage victims to seek assistance.
