A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
REDDING PROCLAIMING OCTOBER 1995 AS DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH IN THE CITY OF REDDING.
WHEREAS, the tragedy of domestic violence affects every community, city,
and county in California and the nation, and touches lives regardless of cultural, ethnic,
religious, or socioeconomic status; and
WHEREAS, the level of violence and the number of domestic violence victims
and reports of abuse continue to rise; and
WHEREAS, Shasta County had 1,979 confirmed domestic violence incidents in
1994, with 1,380 confirmed reports within the jurisdiction of the City of Redding; and
WHEREAS, the tragedy of domestic violence is even larger than reports would
indicate because many victims are too fearful or embarrassed to make a report or ask
for intervention; and
WHEREAS, collaboration among professionals, families, volunteers, and local
leaders and policy-makers can help reduce domestic violence by educating communities
and citizens and encouraging them to report all cases of abuse;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City
of Redding urges all residents and agencies in the City to work together toward the
reduction of domestic violence by increasing education, information, awareness, and ��
vigilance in all matters pertaining to reporting and resolving cases of domestic violence
abuse. �j

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council urges the elected �
representatives of this area from the state legislatures and the federal government to �v
pursue full funding and support of social agencies that receive, investigate, and respond �`
to reports to domestic violence abuse.
