Un-Silence the Violence With Pee Dee Coalition’s Breaking Free Challenge
This year, Pee Dee Coalition will celebrate the 12th Annual Breaking Free Distance Challenge this October! The theme for this year’s challenge is “UN-Silence the Violence”. The challenge will take place virtually from October 1st to October 31st and will raise critical funds for the Coalition’s Emergency Safe Shelter in Florence for women and children who sought refuge from domestic violence.
In the last three fiscal years, 292 women and children sought refuge from domestic violence in the Coalition’s Emergency Safe Shelter and stayed 7,602 nights. According to the South Carolina Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault, 1 in 3 women have experienced some form of physical violence by an intimate partner within their lifetime.
