DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH | GOLD SHIELDS
Domestic violence has no boundaries—and its devastating impact can last a lifetime.
On this powerful upcoming episode of GOLD SHIELDS, we welcome Ashley Bendiksen, a domestic violence survivor who endured abuse beginning in high school and continuing through college. Today, she has transformed her pain into purpose, becoming a leading advocate for victims and a powerful voice for change.
Through her public appearances, education, and training, Ashley is helping victims find their voices while equipping police departments with the knowledge and tools to better recognize and respond to domestic violence.
This is more than a conversation. It’s a call to action. Awareness must lead to action, victims must be heard, and the cycle of abuse must be stopped.
Join us for an important and deeply moving episode of GOLD SHIELDS as we shine a light on an epidemic that cannot be ignored.
