SUPERIOR- Advocates against domestic violence took to the streets to raise awareness and remember lives lost to the crime.The Center Against Sexual and Domestic Abuse, or CASDA held their annual walk to end abuse the money raised goes toward supportive services to victims of abuse.
Executive director, Kelley Burger said, "the advocates cannot do it alone. We cannot end violence in our communities, and the way we do that is by making sure that our community knows, is informed about domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse and that they join us and become part of this community effort to end violence."
CASDA helps 500 new victims each year and they say they field over 2000 phone calls.
They say it's very important to keep holding these walks to raise awareness.
