VOW

Bringing together women of diverse cultures and backgrounds to end violence against women.

[Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons]

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, we’re seeing spikes in gun sales and reports of domestic violence across the country.

No abuser should have access to firearms, and no survivor of domestic violence should live with that fear.

[VOW @VoicesofWomen]

A key example of systems re-victimization.

[Britt Banks @britttbanks]

This broke my heart. A Black woman tried to get help from the system that’s supposed to protect us from danger for a domestic violence restraining order against her partner and recieved the same physical abuse she was trying to prevent. The system truly fails Black people.

3. Hire survivors in positions at DV service orgs to help other survivors. Peer To Peer👏👏

OUTRAGEOUS. Amazon just fired our member Chris Smalls, who helped organize today's walkout to demand the company #ProtectAmazonWorkers.

His statement: "Amazon would rather fire workers than face up to its total failure to do what it should to keep us...safe." #AmazonStrike

While the government is creating systems to respond COVID-19, they must take domestic violence into account. Victims should not be placed on home quarantine with their abuser.
