During #DVAM, we want every survivor to know they are not alone. Over 41% of women and 21% of men in D.C. have experienced some form of violence in their lifetime.
Support is available 24/7. Call or text the DC Victim Hotline at 844-443-5732 or chat at dcvictim.org.
Domestic violence and housing are deeply connected. In DC, 45% of homeless families and 35% of homeless youth report a history of DV.
This #DVAM, we’re calling for affordable, safe, and accessible housing for survivors. 💜 #SpreadLoveDC
More than 40% of Black women in DC will experience domestic violence in their lifetime. DV is a systemic issue that disproportionately impacts global majority communities.
