DANIELLE CORMACKActress (Went wor t h,Rake)
“I believe it’s every human’s right to live a violence-free life, regardless
of age, race or gender. The sad reality is this is not the case; domestic
violence is a pattern that can be passed on generationally. But we all
can work together to help break these patterns and establish zero tolerance
with physical and emotional violence in relationships, families and schools
by talking about it. No one has to stay silent. It’s important to remember
that verbal or emotional abuse can be as damaging as physical violence.
Anyone who has sufered this violation deserves just as much support.”
