A great article on ending domestic violence in Kentucky's workplace, is an article called, Donating old cellphones will help fight domestic violence, I found this article on the Herald Leader.
The title of this article pretty much explains completely what its about. The State government is using an organization called the Kentucky Commission on Women Statewide HopeLine Drive, too collect donations of old, used, or even broken cellphones. What this organization will be raising money for is domestic violence awareness in our workplace. Most of those who are abused in the workplace are to scared to report their abuse to any high authority, in fear that their abuser will increase the abuse if they find out, and give them possible "unexpected visits". Domestic violence in the workplace causes poor employee performance, and a poor business image. Some statistics found by the Bureau of Labor Statistics are that, 30% of Untied States workplace with domestic violence policies, 445% of those companies don't ever address them. The way the state has responded to these statistics, is with the WorkSafe program. What the WorkSafe program is doing is reducing the economic, legal, and productivity risks of domestic violence in the workplace.
If your wanting to donate through HopeLine, you can drop off any of your old cellphones at a HopeLine collection box at your nearest Version Wireless store. A few questions I had after reading this article are, when did HopeLine start? Is there any other states doing something similar to HopeLine? Does your donation have to being old cellphones?
