Community

Look at how your community approaches issues of violence against women. Consider forming a task force if there are not clearly identified advocates for women’s safety.

Make sure your police are appropriately trained to handle domestic violence, and locate shelters and other resources available for women in danger.

Learn about your state and local laws. Are police mandated to arrest the perpetrator in domestic violence so the victim does not have to press charges? What legislation has been passed regarding stalking, handguns, and classification of crimes?

“The goal of our speaking must be to develop a new understanding that violence is the resort of the resourceless; that poverty, sexism, and racism provide the seedbed for its development; and that all prevention must be grounded in this perspective.”

—Sandra Campbell, educator and consultant on violence in children’s lives
