October was Domestic Violence Awareness Month

Social Change starts with #1Thing

Domestic violence impacts millions of people each year, but it can be prevented. It requires the collective voice and power of individuals, families, institutions, and systems – each whose “one thing” adds a valuable and powerful component to transforming our communities.
 
That is why Rise is asking “What is the #1Thing you can do to end domestic violence?”.  October is a month for awareness but it will take individuals taking action all year long to make a difference.
 
Many people care and understand that domestic violence is a serious public health problem. They want to do something but believe their actions can’t make a difference.  Change can start with only #1Thing. Imagine if all 13,000 individuals in Pagosa Springs and Archuleta County each commit to doing just #1Thing to stop domestic violence we could really see some serious social transformation
 
According to the Centers for Disease Control, 1 in 4 women and 1 in 9 men have experienced contact sexual violence, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime.
 
Rise Above Violence served 361 victims of abuse and violence last year alone
 
#1Thing you could do to address domestic violence:
  • Be a caring and consistent adult in the life of a child
  • Talk to loved ones about violence and oppression
  • Create a culture of consent in your home
  • Use social media to raise awareness among your peers
  • Reach out to Rise Above Violence to learn how you can help
  • Listen to and validate a survivor of trauma
  • #1Thing - Join the monthly $10 donors that support Rise through the collective power of individuals giving a little to make a big impact - it is a snowball effect.
 
#1Thing unites our individual voices while highlighting the power of our collective action.
