Over the past few years, the Domestic Violence Center has been working with Johanna Orozco, who as many of you know, was the victim of a shotgun attack by a former boyfriend.
Since this incident, Johanna has worked to turn her tragedy into a way to educate others. Johanna speaks at schools raising awareness of teen dating violence and abuse among students. She has also participated in many DVC events and has been working to get a bill passed that will help protect other teenagers who are situations similar to the one she was in. Johanna has continued to be an inspiration to the DVC staff, clients, and the entire community.
Domestic Violence Center has been working with 20/20 in New York for one of their feature stories: The Johanna Orozco Story, which will air tonight, 11.13.09 at 10pm.If you have a chance to tune in, please do! Johanna is an amazing woman and has a truly incredible story.
