Around the world, there is a clarion call to address deep, longstanding pain and injustice. And behind closed doors, a surge in domestic violence jeopardizes the lives of millions of women, children and those most vulnerable to violence who have been sheltering in place with abusers as a result of COVID-19.
Gender justice, racial justice, economic justice and the health and well-being of our communities are inextricably linked. Our shared pledge to ensure the safety for every single person, in every single community, has never been more necessary — or more urgent.
A Call For Courage is needed.
