The National Institute of Justice states that:

• One (1) out of every four (4) women will experience an incident of Domestic Violence throughout their lifetime; everyday in the US, more than three women are murdered by their husbands or boyfriends.
• Up to ten (10) million children witness some form of Domestic Violence each year; nearly 1 in 5 teenage girls who have been in a relationship said a boyfriend threatened violence or self-harm if presented with a breakup.
• The costs of intimate partner violence in the United States exceed $5.8 billion per year: $4.1 billion are for direct medical and health care services, while productivity losses acount for nearly $1.8 billion.

The Milagros Day Transformation & Leadership Academy (MDLTA) uses the principles of ReCreation, ReEducation and Responsibility to empower Domestic Violence Survivors and change their belief about who they are and what they deserve, give them practical skills in the areas of finance and romance, and help them to discover their life’s purpose so that they can become a contribution to the world.
