While being stalked by anyone can be terrifying, current or former partners often weaponize their familiarity with a victim’s life to make their stalking behaviors more invasive—and more deadly. More from @nnedv: https://t.co/5aE4VuVXC9

Stalkers are inventive offenders who use (and misuse) technologies in a variety of creative ways to scare their victims. Victims of technology-facilitated stalking report being just as concerned for their safety as individuals who experience in-person stalking. #NSAM2023

[KCSDV @KCSDV]

In popular culture, stalkers are often portrayed as shadowy strangers or mysterious secret admirers. In reality, the vast majority of offenders know their victims and are primarily intimate partners or acquaintances. #NSAM2023 #KnowItNameItStopIt

[Nate Postlethwait @nate_postlethwt]

If you are a trauma survivor, chances are you have a hard time seeing how much you mean to people. You live with the painful experiences that alter the way you see yourself. Others live on the outside of your experiences, & see you as the irreplaceable gift that you are.

[Guam Coalition @GCASAFV]

"Nationally, the Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (FVPSA) ensures that shelters and other programs are able to keep their doors open to serve more than 1.3 million victims and their children every year."

@mclarknews @ChiefLockhart @LawrenceKS_PD Any discussion about the purpose of this demonstration @mclarknews ?

#BuildBackBetter is as important for survivors as it is for infrastructure. Leave #PaidSafeLeave in the Pkg.@Sen_JoeManchin @MarkWarner @SenSchumer

[NNEDV @nnedv]

NNEDV urges @POTUS, @SenSchumer, @Sen_JoeManchin, @MarkWarner, and others to keep #PaidLeaveForAll, including #PaidSafeLeave, in the #BuildBackBetter package. (1/3) @PaidLeaveforAll

[Joyce Grover @JoyceKCSDV]

Paid leave for all makes sense. It aids survivors, which helps families and employers as well. #PaidLeaveForAll

[NNEDV @nnedv]

Paid leave helps survivors address medical needs after abuse. Paid safe time provides additional protection to survivor workers to address needs related to abuse, such as obtaining a protective order, accessing services, or relocating. #PaidLeaveForAll @PaidLeaveforAll (2/3)

[KCSDV @KCSDV]

Gaslighting -- trying to get someone else to question their own reality by systematically, psychologically manipulating and abusing them -- eroding someone's self-esteem and worse. No one should have a partner or "friend" who treats them this way.

[KCSDV @KCSDV]

Thanks to reporters who endeavor to tell trauma-informed stories. It matters. It helps others understand and support domestic violence victims-survivors.

[KCSDV @KCSDV]

Thank you to Law Prof. Mikah Thompson for kicking off today's #KCSDVConf2021 -- "Just another fast girl?" She is the perfect lead for day 1 of the Equity, Inclusion, Diversity & Access: Exploring Innovative Anti-Oppression Strategies for Lasting Transformation conference!

[KCSDV @KCSDV]

Domestic violence affects us all; victims are our family members, neighbors, coworkers and friends. All of us -- women, children and men -- must be part of the solution. Take a stand against violence and learn more:

[MOCSA @MOCSAkc]

The news of Bill Cosby’s conviction being overturned is devastating, and it's important to remember this was not about the credibility of the survivors, but a procedural issue. Our hearts go out to all survivors. MOCSA believes you, and we will continue to fight for your rights.

[KCSDV @KCSDV]

Thank you to Gov. Laura Kelly for continuing emergency food assistance (SNAP) benefits to current program households through Dec. 31. It is important to protect Kansas children and families by providing healthy food as we work through moving out of the pandemic.
