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.

Violence against women & girls increases their vulnerability to HIV.
Yet, nearly 1 in 3 women 15 & older have experienced physical and/or sexual violence in their lifetime.
