SAVE E-lert: No Silence for the Silenced

Today, the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV) is calling for a moment of silence at 11 a.m. EST (8 a.m. PST/9 a.m. MST/10 a.m. CST) to raise awareness that every 9 seconds, a woman is battered or abused.

In this awareness effort, no mention is made of male victims. But the unspoken truth is that millions of men are also the victims of domestic abuse each year, at comparable rates. 

Moreover, it is often harder for them to find support or services--for example, many domestic violence shelters do not allow men in.

Call or email NCADV and tell them this unspoken bias against male victims is unacceptable.

This is the silence we're paying attention to today. 

Call: (303) 839-1852
Email: mainoffice-at-ncadv.org

Please take a moment to speak for the silenced now.
