Benedict College holds event highlighting domestic violence against men

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - Awareness for domestic violence: the male perspective. While not often discussed, it was today’s topic at Benedict College.

The physical, emotional, and financial. Domestic violence takes many forms.

A dialogue like this is done annually for domestic violence awareness month, but Dr. Leon Geter says Benedict’s goal is to keep the conversation going year-round, helping prevent violence and saving lives.

“They may not even be aware they’re in a domestic violence situation; they just think it’s a way of life,” Dr. Geter said. “So, this is educating people about what’s right and what’s wrong in a relationship.”
