Wisconsin State Legislature formally recognizes February as Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month

One in five teens experiences physical, emotional, or verbal abuse from a dating partner, and two in three abused teens never disclose the abuse to anyone

More than half of adults who have been physically or sexually abused or stalked by a dating partner first experienced dating violence between ages 11 and 24

Resolution emphasizes that eliminating dating violence requires cooperation among individuals, organizations, and communities
