Social worker and Gov. Katie Hobbs on Tuesday was joined by law enforcement leaders and community advocates to recognize October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
She also signed an Executive Order continuing the Governor’s Commission to Prevent Intimate Partner and Gender-Based Violence. Early on in her social work career, Hobbs helped oversee the Sojourner Center in Phoenix, one of the largest domestic violence shelters at the time.
She continued her advocacy in the state legislature, in the Secretary of State’s Office, and now as Governor.
“As Governor, I will continue to look for ways to protect and support victims of domestic violence and their families, just as I have done throughout my career,” Hobbs shared in a press release. “I could not be more proud to sign this proclamation officially declaring October Domestic Violence Awareness Month.”
