Hialeah, Florida (PRWEB) October 13, 2016 -- On Thursday, October 27th at 10 AM, Florida National University is collectively hosting The Many Faces of Domestic and Teen Dating Violence Rally with Powerhouse at the Hialeah Campus, 4425 W. 20th Avenue (Jose Regueiro Avenue), Hialeah, FL 33012.

The rally will be an inspiring event that will gather community members from all walks of life, of all ages, around one common goal: Putting a stop to the violence.

"We must raise awareness and assure that the relationships in our community, especially those of our impressionable youths, are healthy and free of abuse or fear."

Post this

“We must raise awareness and assure that the relationships in our community, especially those of our impressionable youths, are healthy and free of abuse or fear. Domestic violence and teen dating violence are horrific crimes that must be continually addressed. Join us at our collaborative rally, and together, we will continue to feverishly seek the eradication of these devastating crimes.” FNU President/CEO Dr. Maria C. Regueiro said.

Some great local sponsors will also be providing food/refreshments, music and special guest speakers, making this a fun event that the whole family can enjoy!

Who: Florida National University. Dr. Jose Regueiro Foundation Inc. FNU’s Powerhouse.

What: The Many Faces of Domestic and Teen Dating Violence Rally

When: Thursday, October 27th, 2016. 10AM.

Where: FNU Hialeah Campus- 4425 W. 20th Avenue (Jose Regueiro Avenue), Hialeah, FL 33012

The vicious cycle can take many different forms. It may introduce itself with a yell or a slammed door. It can continue with an insult that makes one feel belittled. With aggression rising, next is a possible tight grasp of the arm, a push, a slap, a punch, a forced sexual act. But at what point are these behaviors considered a problem? When is the right time to stand up and speak out? There is only one correct answer and that's from the very beginning. Domestic abuse and teen dating violence plagues communities and households (at the local, national and international sphere) every single day. Too often, these emotionally and physically abused victims lose their voice or find excuses out of intimidation and fear.

The National Coalition against Domestic Violence reports that in the United States, on average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner. Over the span of 1 year, that adds up to over 10 million people. One in 4 women and 1 in 7 men have been victims of some form of physical violence by an intimate partner in their lifetime.

The youth is being affected as well; DoSomething.org reports that roughly 1.5 million high school students in the U.S admit to being intentionally hit or physically harmed in the last year by someone they are romantically involved with. It has been shown that when teens are exposed to this kind of abuse, it can lead to violent behavior, alcoholism and suicidal thoughts in their adulthood. But we will not stand idly by as this problem continues to plague our community: Florida National University (FNU), Dr. Jose Regueiro Foundation Inc. and FNU’s Powerhouse are taking a stand!

To prepare for this rally, FNU called upon its Powerhouse steering committee, a group of the community’s most elite and diverse leaders, to hold a meeting and brainstorm ideas on how to stop domestic and teen dating violence. On September 1st, 2016, these individuals filled FNU’s Golden Room (The University’s primary meeting place) with passion, creativity and calls to action!

Florida National University’s Powerhouse Mission Statement:

The Powerhouse is composed of illustrious people representing law enforcement officials at the local, state and federal levels; as well as profit and non-profit organizations; bankers; elected officials; religious leaders, advocacy groups, schools, etc. The purpose or mission of the Powerhouse is to collectively tackle morally compelling issues that directly or indirectly affect our children/youth and the public at large, such as, Human Trafficking, Missing Children and Domestic Violence /Teen Dating Violence.
