Fight To End Exploitation

do·mes·tic vi·o·lence

noun; violent or aggressive behavior within the home, typically involving the violent abuse of a spouse or partner.

Did you know that domestic violence and human trafficking are closely related? Trafficked victims may be trafficked by an intimate partner or family member where domestic violence often offers as well. Or, a home life of domestic violence may cause someone to be vulnerable to trafficking.

As advocates and allies, it’s our responsibility to lead by learning because in the movement to end exploitation, which includes addressing domestic violence, there’s nothing more detrimental than being uninformed. Listed below is a growing collection of resources about domestic violence.
