NOMORE.ORG JOINS THE FIGHT AGAINST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

No more.org is a public awareness campaign and social movement purposed to end domestic violence and sexual assault, through various programs, public service initiatives, and resources. Its roots date back to 2009.

The group, along with local and national organizations, seeks to remove the stigma associated with Domestic Violence and add some much needed conversations surrounding a social issue that has been shrouded in secrecy for far too long.

The campaign has even partnered with celebrities and NFL athletes to assist their cause, and to give greater visibility and a stronger platform to reach more people.

NOMORE.ORG SHARES THE FOLLOWING STATISTICS AND STUDIES:

• 12.7 million people are raped, physically abused or stalked by partners in a 12-month period.
• Abusive unions can affect long-term health. Survivors of intimate partner violence are 70% more likely to experience heart disease.
• According to an Avon Study, 60% of Americans know a victim of either domestic or sexual violence, or both.
• 3 out of 4 parents have not talked about the issue of Domestic Violence with their children.
