Written by Site Hub on August 21, 2022
Yesterday, Christ and Out of the Darkness Ministries hosted its 11th Annual Walk Against Domestic Violence at Church of Love. The founder of the annual walk, Lucila Matos, a survivor, author, evangelist, and RPD Champlain, holds the event annually in the City of Rochester to raise awareness of domestic violence in the community.
Matos stated: “Rates of domestic violence in the City of Rochester are more than three times the state average. As a Latina and a Christian, I organize this walk each year to raise awareness among Latinx families, who face higher rates of domestic violence than many other communities. And to call faith leaders, who are often influential among Latinx people, to partner in prevention efforts.”
