The Women’s Resource Center invites the community to help honor those murdered by acts of domestic violence Oct. 13-17 in the Mountainlair, Vandalia Lounge.

The exhibit is a collection of life-sized silhouettes that represent West Virginians who were murdered by a family member or intimate partner. 

As part of a national initiative to raise awareness about the tragedy of domestic violence, viewers are encouraged to help end the vicious cycle of domestic violence by doing the following: 

  • Remember those who were murdered by acts of domestic violence.

  • Raise awareness in our local communities.

  • Connect people to local resources.

  • Advocate to end domestic violence.

  • Legislate to hold abusers accountable.

The exhibit is funded in part by the Big 12 Violence and Discrimination Awareness and Prevention Fund.
