You aren’t alone
Many women experience violence in a relationship. That doesn’t make it ok, it means it’s a big problem that effects everyone in some way.
That is why there are tools and resources—some made right here in our community and others from across the country—that support women going through this.
We’ve gathered some of these resources below for anyone who might need them. Scroll down the page to see the different types of resources we’ve put together.
