Close-knit tribal comm uni ties can make it m ore difficult for victims o f domestic violence to seek and get help. Rural tribal areas are facing other challenges that can over lap with or aggravate domestic violence situations, such as the re c e s sio n , u n e m p lo y m e n t, higher poverty, lower rates o f health insurance coverage, and less access, to health care and hum an services providers. Embarrassm ent and guilt can also inhibit victims o f domestic violence in seeking help. All o f these factors make the problems facing domestic violence survi vors m ore difficult to address. O ctober is D om estic V io lence Awareness M onth, so the Victims o f Crime Services D e partm ent (VOCS) and its part ners have planned several activi ties in October. Purple is the color for D o mestic Violence Awareness. V o lu n teers an d s ta ff are making and distributing purple ribbons and other materials to raise awareness. In Madras the Saving Grace community-based victims assis tance program (formerly known as COBRA) has a purple lights campaign that you will see if you drive on Fourth o r Fifth streets o r go to Sahalee Park at night. A nother activity in O ctober is the evening wom en’s support group that meets at VOCS on Monday evenings. P lease call a V O C S sta ff m em b er at 553-2293 during business hours if you or a friend would like to participate in the evening women’s support g ro u p , meetings. Also in O ctober tribal com munity m em ber s will see at vari ous offices and locations the traveling red Silent Witness sil houettes that will spend a week at various pubEc locations. VOCS provides 2 4 /7 emer gency services and assistance to dom estic violence and other person crime victims w ho are in crisis immediately after their vic timization. Person crime victims include those victims o f domestic vio lence, sexual assault, stalking, and assault and battery. It does n o t include property crimes such as malicious mis chief, vandaEsm, theft, o r house fires (unless the poEce or fire de partm ents suspect the crime o f Arson). AdditionaUy, VOCS does n ot provide criminal defense ser vices. T he responding VOCS vic tim Advocate will make a quick needs assessm ent, and deter mine w hat is needed for the Victim’s immediate safety. Safety plans are m ade de p e n d in g u p o n th e v ic tim ’s unique circumstances.
