“She didn’t think it was as bad as it was. Now she knows, you know?’ Anderson said. “Now we know how bad it was for her.”
Guzman’s husband beat her death in October 2016. He killed himself shortly after. Since then, Anderson and her family have been doing whatever it takes to raise awareness for domestic violence to prevent it from happening to others. That’s what they were doing Tuesday night.
They were among the dozens who attended a domestic violence awareness event at West Valley City Hall. City officials hold the event annually to honor victims and encourage people to end the stigma around domestic violence by talking about it, said Rachelle Hill, the city’s victim services coordinator.
