Orange Day is Sunday, June 25

Orange Day is the day Presbyterian Women recognize exploitation of females worldwide and work to overcome this injustice. Being able to identify abuse in others may help someone to escape domestic violence. Common warning signs of someone being in an abusive situation:

• Partner putting person down before others
• Constant worry over making partner angry
• Making excuses for partner’s behavior
• Partner being extremely jealous or possessive
• Unexplained marks or injuries
• No longer spending time with friends and family
• Depressed of or anxious
• Change in personality

You can listen to the “victim” and support her. Help her feel empowered but leave decision making to her. Wear orange or an orange ribbon on June 25 to show your support and awareness of these situations.
