Remember, stalking is never the victim's fault. If you are being stalked, it is important to get help and support from trusted friends, family, and professionals. #EndStalking #StandUpToStalking #StalkingAwarenessMonth #TakeStalkingSeriously #stoptheabuse #PowerandControl

Lack of trust based on the history of racism and classism in the United States. Stereotypes about the prevalence of domestic violence and sexual assault in communities of color. #DVAM #violencesgainstwomenofcolor #womenofcolor #Hcdvcc #youarenotalone
Domestic violence is the willful intimidation, physical assault, battery, sexual assault, and/or other abusive behavior as part of a systematic pattern of power and control perpetrated by one intimate partner against another.

There are different ways that someone can be in a harmful situation. It's not always about physical abuse. Here are some of the situations you can be a bystander to. #HCDVCC #BystanderInterventionMonth #ActiveBystander #5DsForActiveBystander #IntimatePartnerViolence
Some times a person can't stop to help someone, when this is the case, you can DELAY being a bystander. Check-in with them later to see if they need something. Offer to get help, sit with them til they are ok being alone, or offer them resources. BystanderInterventionMonth
