Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and the start of of Activism against Gender-Based Violence with UN Women.

Online harassment and abuse are just as serious as abuse happening “in real life.” It also happens more than people realize. Safety—on screen and off—must be the reality .

It can be hard to know if you are experiencing technology-facilitated abuse. Even when you recognize the abuse for what it is, it is challenging to know what to do about it. Our advocates are available 24/7 to explain what technology-facilitated abuse is.

💜 We are still in need of more tampons, specifically the lighter ones. In a difficult time, this is the last thing our clients need to be worried about.

If you are able to donate some toiletries, we could use all the help we can get! 💜
