How do we ensure our forensic nursing services are set up to provide high quality support and care for transgender and non-conforming people? #evawi2021 #StartbyBelieving

I’m listening to @jacksontkatz’s seminar at @EVAWintl’s conference and was just floored:

“Violence is not some thing that just happens out of the blue. It’s underpinned by an existing belief system.”

So no, violent men aren’t just “having a bad day”.

Just watched this powerful video on Missing Black Girls in DC during #EVAWI2021 Take the time to check it out. https://t.co/1vDK1gGqTi

If a woman is murdered in the United States, 93% they are murdered by a male they know. 64% are killed by their intimate partners. Staggering. #EVAWI2021

Learning about policy work to take guns away from DV offenders, and how to keep them away. Research indicates when firearms are removed from domestic abusers, it saves lives. #EVAWI2021 #StartbyBelieving

@EVAWintl Taking guns away from DV offenders. But it was tough to choose from so many great offerings!

Strangulation only a misdemeanor in Georgia until 2014! Law changed in Maine in 2011. Currently Ohio, Maryland, Washington D.C. and South Carolina do not specifically treat strangling as a felony. #evawi2021 #StartbyBelieving

“I don’t use the term violence against women. It’s passive. Men’s violence against women is more accurate.” The vast majority of violence against women is committed by men.” @jacksontkatz #EVAWI2021

I carry a Kaboodle case full of wound care supplies, naloxone and other necessities in my car. Even when I’m not “working” I sometimes see participants who know me & need care. Tonight I was reminded why I carry that case & that #HarmReduction work never stops.
