New DV Center To Open In Nashville; Serves Both Sexes

This story in the Nashville Scene reports on the opening of the Mary Parrish Center for Victims of Domestic and Sexual Violence, coming Feb. 14. According to the article, victims of abuse face more bureaucratic red tape than assistance in Nashville, and this center hopes to change that. The author alludes that the center assists both women and men. A woman--or man, for that matter--who finally musters the courage to seek protection from their abuser is always in for a rude awakening when she or he encounters the city's Byzantine bureaucracy. But the new center's opening is expected to mitigate such procedural red tape for Nashville victims, many of whom face life or death situations.
