COLUMBUS, Ohio Advocates focused on ending domestic violence said domestic violence was already an epidemic in Ohio prior to the pandemic, however, since the coronavirus has run rampant and stay-at-home orders were put in place, the problem has only gotten worse.
One woman who survived domestic violence is using her experience to help others. I thank God for my experience even though I m left with the scars, said Diona Clark.
Clark said she moved to Columbus in 2004 a couple years after graduating from Howard University. At first, she was traveling back and forth from Dayton, where she is from, to look for a job. Then, she met a guy who she ended up falling for.
