Stalking isn’t just a “one off” event – it’s two or more behaviors directed at a specific person (or persons) that cause fear. Those behaviors can be in-person, through technology, or some combination. #NSAM2022#KnowItNameItStopIt
This January marks the eighteenth annual National Stalking Awareness Month! #NSAM2022 Stalking is a serious and prevalent crime that deserves our attention. Join efforts this month and empower our communities to KNOW IT, NAME IT, and STOP IT. #KnowItNameItStopIt
Someone you care about is likely experiencing #DomesticViolence, whether you can see it or not. 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men will experience severe physical violence from an intimate partner in their lifetime. #Every1KnowsSome1#DVAM

#MMIWG is unacceptable. Congress must:
-increase resources for tribal victim services
-address the inadequate responses of criminal justice systems
-restore inherent tribal authority to hold perpetrators accountable
Native women & girls need justice + safety.♥
#MMIWGActionNow
Native women experience the highest rates of violence of any group in the US; the highest rate of domestic violence and rape of any group of women; murder at more than 10x higher than the national average rate. This is unacceptable.
#MMIWGActionNow#NoMoreStolenSisters#MMIWG
📢 May 5th was the birthday of Hanna Harris, a 21-yr-old Northern Cheyenne woman who went missing in 2013. Each year, the movement to end violence against Native women organizes activities on this day as the #MMIWG National Day of Awareness.
#MMIWGActionNow#NoMoreStolenSisters
The continuing reports of abductions/murders of Native women & girls represent one of the most horrific aspects of the spectrum of violence against Native women.
#MMIWG is unacceptable. Native women & girls deserve justice + safety.♥
#MMIWGActionNow#NoMoreStolenSisters
♥Today we honor the lives of missing /murdered Native women.
📢The murder rate of Native women is 10x the national average on some reservations.
💔Their disappearances/murders are often connected to domestic violence/sexual assault.
