News and Resources How to Advocate for Victims and Survivors of Domestic Violence During Coronavirus "With the spread of the new coronavirus, domestic violence rates have surged worldwide. (...) After a brief downtick at the beginning of shelter-in-place orders, physical abuse and the severity of domestic abuse injuries have increased." See Ways to Help Doorways' Domestic and Sexual Violence Programs Posters Especially now, it's important that resources are available in places where survivors already are, or are permitted to go. We have created a collection of posters that you can easily print on your home printer, on standard-size office paper. Hang them where they can be seen, such as in your apartment building's elevator. If you do leave home to go grocery shopping, pick up a prescription, or access other essential services, consider taking a poster with you and asking the business to display this resource for their customers.
