Together We Can End Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault
“Together we can end Domestic Violence ” Sexual Assault." These words come from the coalition NO MORE, a group dedicated to ending domestic violence and sexual assault. Their mission is to increase awareness, inspire action, and fuel a culture change.
Did you know:
- 1 in 4 women and 1 in 9 men experience violence from their partners in their lifetimes.
- 1 in 3 teens experience sexual or physical abuse or threats from a partner in one year.
- Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth are targeted for rape and sexual assault at least twice as often as straight youth.
- 1 in 5 women are survivors of rape.
- 1 in 3 women and 1 in 6 men have experienced sexual violence in their lives.
- 1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men were sexually abused before the age of 18.
To end domestic violence and sexual assault, we all need to be part of the solution. Educating yourself and others, helping a friend who is being abused, speaking up, and being an engaged bystander are all examples of things you can do to help. Talking about these issues openly will help end the shame and stigma that domestic violence and sexual assault survivors are burdened with. Through their website, you can obtain a wealth of knowledge including how to be more involved in various campaigns.
One way this is done is through the annual NO MORE Week (March 8-14, 2020). It’s a chance for everyone to make a change and help bring positive improvements to society. Through their site, you can find an event near you, submit your event, take the pledge, and get updates.
