October is #DomesticViolence Awareness Month & neither @leezeldin & @EspositoforNY have yet to even acknowledge it
It makes sense I guess since @RepLeeZeldin voted against the Violence Against Women Act

Zeldin & Esposito’s silence is deafening - made even more so given that they claim to be running on a #BackTheBlue #ToughOnCrime platform
Given the increased danger LEO’s face in responding to DV calls & the extremely high rate of Officer Involved Domestic Violence

& the Zeldin/Esposito campaign making distorted violent crime statistics first/ foremost, I think it’s time they faced questions regarding a real crime epidemic w/in #NewYork’s law enforcement community -

My new essay is full of awful %. Femicide--the killing of a woman or a girl by a man because of her gender, also used to refer to the epidemic of women killed by men in intimate settings--is a word rarely used in the US. Femicide kills 10 times more women in the US than in France
November is #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth in Canada, where every six days a woman is killed by her intimate partner. Indigenous women are killed at six times the rate of non-indegenous women in Canada. feministgiant.com/p/essay-the-te…
Almost three women are killed every day by a current or an ex partner in the US.
#DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth just ended in the US. What does it change if the horrors of intimate partner violence are not named for the epidemic that they are.
For the terrorism that it is.

1.How many lives can we save just by funding housing for persons experiencing intimate partner violence? #ph260720 #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth #DVAM2021 #HousingISjustice
2.Domestic violence cases were up 35% in Baltimore during the stay at home order. That’s an average of 6 more calls per day to the police and 3 more calls per day to emergency hotlines. #ph260720 #HRM #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth #DVAM2021
3.Domestic violence affects 1 in 4 women and 1 in 10 men in their lifetime, BUT that is widely understood to be an undercount. cdc.gov/violencepreven… #ph260720 #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth #DVAM2021
Stop telling Domestic Violence victims and survivors what to do. We face judgement for calling the police or for not calling the police. We face judgement for leaving and for staying. Escaping abuse is one of the hardest things to do and how someone handles it is very personal
3 women die every day from domestic violence. Statistically, victims are in the most danger when they are in the process of leaving their abuser or have just left. So many people think that calling the police solves the issue but that simply isn’t the case.
Some studies show that about 40% of police officers are DV offenders themselves. And often the victim can be arrested or brought in as well when calling for help. This is all before dealing with a court system that often retraumatizes survivors.
One of the many disturbing trends we are witnessing during COVID, is a rise in domestic violence.
During #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth let's recommit to building a country where everyone is able to live free from violence or harassment—online, on-campus, and at home.

Alongside continuing national action, I'm thankful for the lifesaving work being done by so many local organizations like @SafeHorizon, @NCADV, @URI_NYC, and @sjcindiana in South Bend.

Today is the first day of #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth

Domestic violence affects millions, both women and men, of every race, religion, culture and status. It’s not just punches and black eyes -- it’s yelling, humiliation, stalking, manipulation, coercion,
threats and isolation. It’s stealing a paycheck, keeping tabs online, non-stop texting, constant use the silent treatment, or calling someone stupid so often they believe it.

I've met hundreds of women who have come to see me over the years who were in abusive relationships and a constant request from many of them is to pray for them and ask others to as well. Here are the stories of four of these women. (Thread) #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth
I request you to read them in their entirety with an open heart and real love. Then, as this night begins to enter into its late hours, I would ask you all to join me in praying for each one of these women as well as the thousands of others who have similar stories.
