Did you know? People used to believe the myth that wealth would protect you from #domesticviolence.
It doesn't. It only gives you more options.

Domestic Violence isn't limited to "those" people.
1 in 4 women & 1 in 10 men experience abuse at some point in their lifetime.
Historically marginalized groups such as gender non-conforming, experience abuse at much higher rates, sometimes more than 1 in 2.

Domestic violence (Intimate Partner Violence) is a pattern of behavior used to gain and maintain #power & #control over an intimate partner.

Thank you to @POTUS for calling on all Americans to speak out against domestic violence and support victims and survivors, and for applauding the efforts of victim advocates and service providers. Read the official @WhiteHouse#DVAM proclamation: https://t.co/UUyaqCRLDQ
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
Abusers become even deadlier with access to guns, and are a threat to more than their partners. More than half of mass shooters from 2009-2020 shot an intimate partner or family member during their rampage. #DVAM
Domestic Violence Awareness Month (#DVAM) was launched nationwide in October 1987 as a way to connect and unite individuals and organizations working on domestic violence issues while raising awareness for those issues.
