October is domestic violence awareness month. To help raise awareness, artist, Oliver Rios, and singer and spoken word performer, La Bruja, produced this matador poster. This is their interpretation of the abusive behavior that occur within families and relationships today.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, domestic violence is affecting more than 32 million Americans, or over 10 percent of the U.S. population. Domestic violence may or may not constitute a crime, but may include physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, stalking, and even economic deprivation.
