A subject that victims don't like to talk about and people try not to know about is being brought to the forefront in October. Oklahoma State Attorney General Scott Pruitt announced Thursday that October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Locally, Patti Beavers, victim advocate at Family Crisis and Counseling Center said purple ribbons are being handed out to promote awareness. She wants people to NOT ignore any kind of domestic violence.

You can get the purple ribbons at the Center located on SE Frank Phillips Boulevard. AG Pruitt suggests wearing purple every Thursday in October to help raise awareness. If you need more information , call 918-336-1188.
