Myth: Domestic violence is bad, but it happens elsewhere. It doesn't happen in my community, my neighborhood, my culture, my religion or my congregation.

Fact: Domestic violence happens to people of every educational and socio-economic level. Domestic violence happens in all races, religions and age groups. Domestic violence occurs in both heterosexual and same-sex relationships.
