NO MORE

This is not a "sponsored advertisement or blog post". This is an issue that needs to be addressed and that I am passionate about. 

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Did you know...

• One in every FOUR women will experience domestic violence in their lifetime.
• An estimated 1.3 MILLION women are victims of physical assault by an intimate partner each year.
• One in SIX women are survivors of sexual assault.
• One in five men have experienced some form of sexual victimization in their lifetime.
• Females who are 20-24 years old are at the greatest risk of nonfatal intimate partner violence.

"These are not numbers. They're our mothers, girlfriends, brothers, sisters, children, co-workers, and friends. They're the person you confide in most at work, the guy you play basketball with, the people in your book club, your poker buddy, your teenager's best friend - or your teen, herself. The silence and shame must end for good." nomore.org

 No More is a unifying symbol supported by major domestic violence and sexual assault organizations. It represents the concept of zero - as in zero incidences of sexual assault and domestic violence and was inspired by Christine Mau, a survivor.

NO MORE SILENCE.

NO MORE VIOLENCE.

If you or someone you know is a victim of domestic violence or sexual assault, please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233.
