Spread the word: You are not alone!

Millions of women struggle in silence from violence and abuse, terrorized by stalkers, trying to recover from sexual assault. Let them know they are not alone. There is help. And it can start by sharing these resources from our Women Deserve Better helpsite: 

Do You Know the Signs of Intimate Partner Violence?

When You Don’t Feel Safe at Home

What to do if you are being stalked

What To Do If You Have Been Sexually Assaulted

How to Get Help if You Are Being Trafficked

Women Deserve Better Editor and former domestic violence shelter manager and sex trafficking victims’ advocate, Joyce McCauley-Benner, stressed the importance of spreading awareness of resources: “Women knowing about a safe place to go, either in person or online, to get help or tips is a lifeline for them and their children. It gives them a glimmer of hope in a desperate situation.”

If you are pregnant and dealing with abuse, please go to your local pregnancy resource center and check back on our Women Deserve Better helpsite for solutions to other challenges including housing, transportation, nutrition, healthcare, and more.

Because women deserve better,
