This and every October, Philadelphia recognizes Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Domestic violence can affect anyone \u2014 regardless of your class, race, marital status, sexual orientation, or gender identity.<\/p>\n

In the United States, an average of 20 people experience intimate partner physical violence every minute, according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence<\/a>. This equates to more than 10 million abuse victims annually. According to the CDC\u2019s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control<\/a>, nearly 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men report having experienced severe physical violence from an intimate partner in their lifetime. About 1 in 6 women and 1 in 14 men have experienced contact sexual violence by an intimate partner.<\/p>\n

Domestic Violence is more than just physical abuse \u2014 it is a pattern of behaviors that a partner uses against the other person with the purpose of gaining and maintaining power and control in the relationship. These behaviors can include: isolation, financial deprivation, stalking, emotional abuse, and threats to harm partner, children or pets.<\/p>\n

Many people often ask, \u201cWhy do people stay in abusive relationships?\u201d Leaving is difficult and even dangerous. Most domestic violence homicides happen after someone has left or attempted to leave an abusive partner. Survivors face many common barriers to safety including fear of: death, physical harm, child custody\/stability, homelessness, cultural\/religious shame, deportation and many more. Leaving is a process and survivors need support and options.<\/p>\n

Always call 911 in an emergency. If you believe someone needs help, let them know they can call the Philadelphia Domestic Violence Hotline at any time at 1-866-723-3014<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
