“When a woman is assaulted, one of the first questions people ask is, Did you say no? This question assumes that the answer was always yes, and that it is her job to revoke the agreement. To defuse the bomb she was given. But why are they allowed to touch us until we physically fight them off? Why is the door open until we have to slam it shut?”

January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month, and today we're looking at the different types of trafficking that occurs all around the United States every day. While many people might think there is only sex or labor trafficking, many adults and children deal with other forms of illegal trafficking such as domestic servitude, forced marriage, debt bondage, and child soldiering. Our Free 24/7 Crisis Hotline for Victims of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault is available at 833-858-6265 if you are a victim of trafficking and are needing our help and resources 🫂

What are some of the tactics that stalkers use to victimize? While some methods like making unwanted phone calls, sending gifts, and following the victim to their private residency or other places might be the first to come to mind, stalkers also commonly use technology to track and monitor their victims as well as sending them harassing messages through text or social media. If any of these sound familiar to you, it might be time to evaluate if you have an individual in your life making you uncomfortable with their contact. Call our 24/7 Crisis Hotline for Victims of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault at 833-858-6265 if you're in need of some support 🩵

While the holidays are meant to bring joy and peace to individuals and families, this is often not the case for survivors and those that are supporting them. This time of year can be tricky to navigate for those that have trauma and triggers, just know that you aren't alone and there are resources to help you get through this season! Here are some ways to take care of yourself, as well as calling our 24/7 Crisis Hotline for Victims of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault at 833-858-6265. We are here to support you ❄️

While the holidays are a time for joy and celebration, unfortunately there is also an increased risk for child abuse that comes with the season. The majority of sexual abuse occurs in isolated, one-on-one incidents between a child and an adult or another child. By eliminating these situations, keeping a watchful eye on your kid's play, and monitoring what adults are around your child, you can reduce the risk of sexual abuse and keep others safe! 🧒🏼👦🏾 Please call our 24/7 Crisis Hotline for Victims of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault at 833-858-6265 for any assistance, support, or shelter services you might need during the holiday season. We are here to help you!

Don't forget about our Cookies and Cocoa event happening next Monday, December 9th, at 5pm here at our Huntsville office!

Both clients and community members are welcome, so don't miss out on a merry night!🍪

The holidays are usually a time of joy and celebration for most, but for some, it can be an especially dangerous and unpredictable season. There are many factors that can exacerbate domestic violence and abuse within a home or relationship during this time, including increased alcohol consumption, financial stress, and the facade of happiness and togetherness. If you are struggling or worried about the holidays this year, know that you can reach out for help. Call our 24/7 Crisis Hotline for Victims of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault at 833-858-6265 ❤️ You don't have to do this alone!

It's alarming to think that HALF of all women and men in the US have experienced psychological aggression by their intimate partner. While these statistics are sad, they are very real, and as a community we must make efforts to believe and support not just physical abuse, but ALL kinds of abuse. If you are experiencing a violent relationship or have questions about abusive behaviors, please don't hesitate to contact our 24/7 Crisis Hotline for Victims of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault at 833-858-6265! We are here to help 💜

Today we are looking at how domestic violence and technology intertwine 📲 Abusers can use cyber surveillance to stalk, harass, and monitor their victims in ways that an individual may not even realize. It's important to stay knowledgeable on the tactics that can be used to cyber stalk and the ways a survivor can stay safe while still using their technology. If you are needing help or advice, please call our 24/7 Crisis Hotline for Victims of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault at 833-858-6265 💜 #DVAM2024
