Dear Friend,
The COVID-19 pandemic has intensified intimate partner and family violence.
Victims and survivors of violence have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic and its effects - lockdowns, quarantines, financial and health crises, and isolation. We know that home is not safe for everyone. The worst thing that can happen to an individual or family experiencing the cycle of domestic violence is to be quarantined with their abuser.
Before the pandemic, one in three women worldwide experienced physical or sexual violence mostly by an intimate partner. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, data and reports show that all types of violence against women and girls, particularly domestic violence, has increased.
We believe that violence begins in the home and extends into society at large, contributing to violence everywhere.
The Domestic Violence Action Fund is a multi-year campaign initiated by Peace Over Violence to make the connections between domestic violence and the most urgent health, social and economic problems impacting our communities today. DVAF seeks to inspire and activate all of us to support and fund the necessary changes so we can imagine life without domestic violence.

With gratitude,
Patti Giggans
Executive Director/CEO, Peace Over Violence
