Let’s stand united against all who attempt to blur the lines around sexual consent, place blame on victims, and excuse perpetrators.
During #16Days of Activism, let’s say it loud and clear:
NO. MEANS. NO.

We’ve been advised to stay home to be safe from #COVID19, but what if home is where she feels unsafe?
Domestic violence has surged during the pandemic, but we can all help survivors get the support they need.

When violence happens, women are reluctant to seek help outside the family. New data shows most would seek help from a family member rather than from the authorities.
