If you want to help on this issue and on others that can make a difference in creating a world that is a safer, more peaceful place to live in for all of us, here are four suggestions:

1) Break the Silence - whether you are a victim or a witness to any form of violence, talk to someone.

2) Practice Peace - Make a pledge to yourself and the people you care about to resolve conflicts with diplomacy, instead of war. Make a pledge to treat others with respect, even when you don't especially like them.

3) Teach Peace - If you want to take more action, volunteer at a hotline, drop off food at a women and children's shelter, find an organization working for peace that you can support.

4) Call the National Network to End Domestic Violence at 202-543-5566 and ask how you can contribute.
