End Domestic Violence

Domestic violence (DV) occur in various forms and can be unique to different communities of color. While there are relatable characteristics and traits, some challenges arise with a lack cultural relatability and resources.  The lack of supportive resources, services, and tools that connect with people of color (POC) contribute to disparities in marginalized populations. Through advocacy, partnerships with survivors, and subject matter experts; And I Stand is committed to providing resources to minority communities through outreach activities. 

 

 

 

The "No More" Challenge Program

#NoMoreChallenge

Often times, domestic violence (DV) is masked; an individual could look perfectly normal but may be suffering in silence.  As a community, we have to be deliberate in our efforts to end the silence of DV. The No More Challenge Program, educates the community on how to look for signs through preventive measures and take action against an abuser(s). This challenge also addresses various types of DV and how one stands their ground during these traumatic situations. While there are various types of DV, And I Stand categorize DV by five areas:

​

  • Physical

  • Mental

  • Verbal

  • Economic Abuse

  • Stalking

​

To further emphasize the No More Challenge Program, for the month of October (i.e. Domestic Violence Awareness Month), And I Stand  pushes a virtual advocacy campaign through social media to end DV. How can you join the campaign?
