National Network to End Domestic Violence launches public service campaign

The past several months we have all been encouraged to “stay home to stay safe”, but we know that home is not a safe place for everyone.  During the pandemic, many survivors have been sheltering at home with abusive partners, and the spread of COVID-19 has created housing, childcare, financial and other barriers that will continue to impact survivors’ safety long after the pandemic has ended.

During these uncertain times, it’s important to remind everyone that there are always resources available for you or someone you care about.

As incidents of domestic abuse continue to rise, National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV) launched their #ISeeYou public service campaign and video to get the word out that help is available.  Supporting survivors of domestic abuse at this time has taken on a more urgent dimension, and NNEDV said they honor the tireless efforts of advocates, hotlines and programs across the country who are working every day to support survivors in need.
