New Study: Nevada Ranks #1 in Rate of Women Murdered by Men
It is a sad statistic for Nevada. A report released by The Violence Policy Center (VPC) Tuesday ranks Nevada first in the nation in the rate of women killed by men, with a rate of 2.53 per 100,000. The report, “When Men Murder Women: An Analysis of 2005 Homicide Data,” aims to raise awareness about this issue. The previous year, Nevada was ranked fifth.

I look at what just happened with the guy who molested a 3 year old getting caught 4 years later. I must say that it brings me back to the incidents I went through as a child. I nearly was murdered more than once when I was a teenager. I endured domestic violence, molestation and rape, but my relationship with God has helped me to heal from the horrendous acts of my childhood.
In my book, “The Rape of Innocence: Taking Captivity Captive”, I detail the trauma and the victory. I’ve found peace and success. I know, though, that many other women didn’t live through their trials and I grieve for them.
