MCEDSV

The Michigan Coalition to End Domestic & Sexual Violence is dedicated to all survivors of domestic & sexual violence, human trafficking, & stalking.

[Rep. Debbie Dingell @RepDebDingell]

Hosted @mcedsv, @womenlawyersMI, @FirstStepPeace1, SafeHouse, @HAVEN_Oakland, & @ACCESS1971 for a roundtable to discuss their work for survivors of domestic violence, learn more about their resources, services, & unmet needs in our community, & how I can support them in Congress.

[MCEDSV @mcedsv]

We need your help to tell Congress that a 40% cut to VOCA will be devastating and that they need to act now.

[Defend Survivors @defendsurvivors]

If a survivor tells you what happened to them and it doesn't make sense to you then the problem is not with the survivor's story or how they're explaining it - the problem is with your understanding of how abusers abuse.

“Why didn’t she leave?” ➡️ “His abuse made it impossible for her to leave.”

Media must tell domestic violence stories correctly: supporting survivors and holding abusers accountable.

Media often perpetuates dangerous domestic violence myths, like:

❌ Blaming victims
❌ Using sensationalized words and images
❌ Exploiting trauma

Survivors deserve better. Check out @nnedv’s Media Guide for more: https://t.co/pGdaxXFham

Controlling behavior and extreme jealousy aren’t romantic. They’re abuse.

Here are some signs of controlling behavior that we need to start identifying as abusive behavior.
