@flores_vivianna This! I believe awareness and education is the first and most important steps for making strides in any societal problem. #MacroSW

A4: Being aware that disability and domestic violence are connected can make a huge impact. Awareness is important for progression! #MacroSW

I’m glad to say that CSULB has various supportive services that can be of use to students w/ disabilities: https://t.co/ocKX3jfhZY #MacroSW

A3: CSULB is excellent when it comes to providing supportive services to their students; this, of course, includes disabled women. #MacroSW

@DeannaLin121 The sad part of this is that many victims are dependent on the abusers; they trusted them, and the perpetrators betrayed them. #MacroSW

A2: My school does have resources for domestic violence, but unfortunately, not much for specific issues disabled women may face. #MacroSW

[Kevin Ruben Avila @RubenIsMaster]

@VilissaThompson It's such a shame... What makes it even worse is that sometimes people are even sympathetic towards the abuser. #MacroSW

Independence and the reassurance that you are going to be ok is a must to escape an abusive relationship: https://t.co/zhhbR3X5Kw #MacroSW

A1: Due to low employment rates, disabled women are more likely to be financially dependent on their abuser; leaving is difficult. #MacroSW
