The Ontario Association of Interval andTransition Houses (OAITH), and Yellow Brick House “The Window Project”. The project aims to raise awareness to the realities of domestic violence.
A window installation was created at the heart of Queen Street West Toronto, Canada. It depicts a family celebrating a holiday dinner. But unlike a happy holiday scene, the displays depicts a domestic violence scenario.
A large number of studies have found that domestic violence against women surges during the holiday season, sometimes by as much as 30 percent. The United Nations has found that one in three women worldwide are victims of domestic violence during their lifetime. An estimated 362,000 Canadian children witness or experience family violence each year. Domestic violence is more common in homes with young children. Children witnessing this violence are at immediate risk of being physically injured. Research has shown that a child witnessing family violence is as harmful as experiencing it directly. This is a form of child abuse.
