In Texas, one in three women are victims of domestic violence according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence.
Katlyn Hamaker is a survivor who started Club Stand at Palo Alto College, the only student-run organization at the school working to end domestic violence on campus. They held a seminar to raise awareness on Thursday.
"Being a survivor, I can help somebody," Hamaker said. "They're afraid, they're ashamed, they don't want anybody to know."
Patricia Castillo with The P.E.A.C.E. Initiative says it's common for victims to stay quiet.
"That's what really is detrimental about being able to effectively intervene," Castillo said. "Not knowing the people that are not identified."
Castillo said that San Antonio has room to grow when it comes to services available to help victims.
"We don't have enough therapists on duty to serve the needs of people dealing with this," Castillo said. "We don't have enough people who speak other languages to deal with this."
That's why she said it's key that the community learns to become a source of help. Club Stand hopes to continue doing so by educating one student at a time.
