While domestic and sexual violence impact people of all genders, women and girls are disproportionately impacted. Worldwide, at least 1 in 3 women like Megan experience intimate partner violence, including dating violence.
“In Arlington specifically, through the youth risk behavior survey conducted in high schools, 25% of high school girls in Arlington report that a dating partner used a form of emotional abuse with them,”
Project PEACE reports.
Doorways serves survivors of all genders and ages. Survivors and their loved ones can access our services through Arlington’s only 24-hour hotline (703-237-0881).
Your support provides crisis response, emergency shelter, hospital accompaniment, counseling, advocacy, and case manage management services. Our dedicated children’s services help kids heal with art and play-based therapies. And when survivors are ready to move on from shelter, your donations ensure Doorways’ support continues, serving families in their own homes (with virtual services as needed due to COVID). Donate now to end abuse and build a brighter future.
