Panel Sheds Light on Domestic Violence
The stories are horrific — and all too common: stalking, abuse and murder, most often of a woman by her spouse.
On Monday, October 27, an impressive panel convened at the Brahma Kumaris Meditation Center, to tackle the issue, co-sponsored by the Armenian Relief Society and the Brahma Kumaris Mediation Center.
- Attorney Wendy Murphy
- Middlesex County Sheriff Peter Koutoujian
- Director of operations at REACH Beyond Domestic Violence Lauren Nackel
- Brahma Kumaris Center co-coordinator Rita Cleary
The panelists tried to define the cycles of abuse, what the women experience, why they stay and how observers can help, touching upon the difficulties in tight-knit communities.
