A group of advocates in Washington state is seeking your feedback on services for survivors. #dvsurvivor #ipv #dvadvocate

On #abortionbans, dating or stranger rape are a topic of national conversation. #dvadvocates know that reproductive choices are undermined or disallowed in abusive relationships. That fact is a critical feature in the frustrating, victim blaming question, “why does she stay?”

U.S.Sen. Maria Cantwell joined health care providers at Harborview Medical Center for press on Washington state’s influx of patients who have curtailed or eliminated access to reproductive healthcare. Our Em Stone, was there. KING 5 News #abortionbans king5.com/video/news/nat…

“But consider what the world had taught her by then, a poor Black girl with men’s violence and control all around her, with a law-enforcement system that prioritized her abuser’s freedom at the cost of her trauma…” nytimes.com/2024/08/22/opi…

The movie "It Ends with Us" has sparked important discussions on domestic violence. While the film raises awareness, survivors emphasize that leaving an abusive relationship is far harder than portrayed. What are your thoughts? #DomesticViolenceAwareness #ItEndsWithUs

I'm working on legislation to better support domestic violence survivors so they can seek help—so today at Mary's Place, I heard directly from providers & survivors about the challenges they face and what we can do to help survivors get the support & justice they need to heal.
