Did you know: #denimday grew out of a 1998 Italian Supreme Court decision that overturned a rape conviction because the victim wore tight jeans.

The Safe House supports victims of domestic violence and sexual assault 💙

Last year, NAAG sent a letter signed by all 56 AGs urging Congress to adopt key changes to VOCA. This year, victims have already lost $500 million, & they lose more every day. NAAG urges the Senate to end this #Crisis4Victims by passing the #VOCAFix. https://t.co/jGInVP0tsr

@LeaderMcConnell It’s time for the Senate to vote on the House-passed #VOCAFix bill with no amendments. $400 million was deposited into the U.S. Treasury while the Senate waited to vote. Prevent a #Crisis4Victims.

We had great conversations this week with @WallingfordMO and @BarryHovis about the work of the Safe House! #NeverStoppedNeverClosed #moleg

Reports of domestic violence have increased in severity and frequency throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and advocates continued to serve survivors 24/7. #NeverStoppedNeverClosed #moleg

[MOCADSV @MOCADSV]

Shelters had to dramatically shift their policies and procedures to maintain health and safety standards while still providing essential advocacy, shelter, and crisis services 24/7. #NeverStoppedNeverClosed #moleg

[MOCADSV @MOCADSV]

Domestic violence shelters saw a 27% increase in hours of crisis intervention with survivors compared to last year. #NeverStoppedNeverClosed #moleg

[MOCADSV @MOCADSV]

MCADSV member agencies provide essential rape and abuse services 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. #Services4Survivors. #NeverStoppedNeverClosed #moleg
