Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. It is a call to action and a reminder that violence against women and girls is the most pervasive human rights violation worldwide. There is #NoExcuse for gender-based violence, not at home, not at the workplace, not in public, not online. Nowhere. #DomesticViolence #EndDV #SupportingSurvivors

We’re honored to be featured on WebMD’s Health Discovered podcast! ?? In this episode, our Senior Program Service Manager, Denise Murray, explains the care and understanding that guides every conversation at The Hotline, how advocates are trained to listen without judgment, and how we help survivors navigate complex situations, and empower them to make the best decisions for their unique circumstances.

For some, the holidays are a time of joy and celebration. For those in an abusive relationship, the holidays can be extra stressful. An abusive partner may isolate you or threaten violence to keep you from talking to friends and family during the holidays. No matter your plans, your safety could be at risk, especially this time of year. Safety looks different for each person, but these tips are a good place to start. Remember, our advocates are available 24/7 to help with safety planning, emotional support, and finding resources. You are not alone. ?? #SafetyPlanning #HolidaySafety #SupportingSurvivors #DVSupport

?? Action Alert ?? This Thursday, Congress will vote on HR 9495, the Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act. What does this mean? This bill would hand the government a dangerous tool to potentially punish disfavored groups by giving the executive branch the unilateral authority to label any American non-profit a "terrorist supporting organization" and, therefore stripping it of its tax-exempt status. This would be a dangerous overreach that could impact non-profit organizations who serve some of the most marginalized survivors. It is critical that non-profit organizations be allowed to safely serve and represent survivors who have diverse needs and interests. Tell your representative to vote NO on Thursday.

In 2024, the National Domestic Violence Hotline, the nation’s only 24/7 hotline supporting victims, survivors and their families through phone, chat and text, answered its 7 millionth call. This milestone is bittersweet— as we know there are so many in this country impacted by abuse and still needing support. To honor the 7 millionth call, we’re collecting stories from survivors across the U.S. to illustrate that abuse comes in many forms, and that every survivor is brave and knows their own journey best. Survivor storytelling is the most powerful avenue to creating change. If you’d like to share your story, we invite you to participate in our #IAm7Million project. These stories will be featured on our social platforms to highlight the real, lived experiences survivors face every day. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/d5kuM-32
