Surviving Domestic Violence:

Surviving domestic violence can be a harrowing experience, but many individuals find strength and resilience in seeking support and rebuilding their lives. According to statistics from the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV), nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States, highlighting the widespread impact of this issue. After leaving an abusive situation, survivors often face significant challenges, including emotional trauma, financial instability, and the need to rebuild their sense of safety and trust.

However, with the support of local organizations such as the Oregon Coalition Against Domestic & Sexual Violence and Call to Safety, survivors can access critical resources like emergency shelters, legal advocacy, counseling, and community outreach programs. These services are crucial for helping survivors navigate their journey towards healing and independence. Despite the hardships, many survivors go on to lead fulfilling lives, empowered by their courage to seek help and break free from abuse. By raising awareness, providing support, and fostering a community of solidarity, Oregon continues to play a vital role in helping survivors reclaim their lives and thrive beyond domestic violence.
