October is #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, 1 in 3 (33%) women and 1 in 4 (44%) men have experienced some form of physical violence by an intimate partner. These numbers are not just statistics; they represent real people and real pain. It's time to raise our voices, spread awareness, and support survivors. 💜 If you are in the Wisconsin area and are looking for ways to get involved, check out: https://loom.ly/0nyGePA https://loom.ly/0BtfMIk https://loom.ly/7YogjA4 https://loom.ly/M3ZSov8 https://loom.ly/b-zVULk #enddomesticviolence #stopabuse #domesticviolence #awareness #resources #events #wisconsin #volunteer #donate #survivors

Rape is not just a crime; it's a violation of the most intimate form of trust and dignity. It leaves scars that may never fully heal and shatters lives in unimaginable ways. It's time to break the silence and raise awareness about the prevalence of rape and sexual violence. Let's educate ourselves and others about consent, respect, and the importance of believing and supporting survivors. Together, we can work towards a world where everyone can live free from the fear of sexual violence. #EndRapeCulture #BelieveSurvivors #ConsentMatters #NoMeansNo #BreakTheSilence #RapeAwareness #SupportSurvivors #EndSexualViolence Learn more at: https://lnkd.in/gCvV74bB . . #NGO #NonProfit #Charity #HumanRights #SupportNGO #NGOWork #SocialJustice #NGOImpact #Volunteer #CommunitySupport #Survivor #EndViolence #BreakTheSilence #SupportSurvivors #SpeakOut #EmpowerSurvivors #HealingJourney #StrengthInSurvivors #ViolenceAwareness #Recovery

Shifting the language from "homeless" to "unhoused" aims to reduce this stigma, emphasizing that a lack of stable housing is a temporary situation, not a fixed identity. Read more at https://lnkd.in/eehR_PEj #unhoused #homeless #nonprofit

In 1938, Congress created the Wagner-O’Day Act, which enabled nonprofits that served people who were blind to sell products to the federal government. The Act was amended in 1971 to include people with other significant disabilities. This expanded Javits-Wagner-O’Day (JWOD) Act serves as the basis for the federal AbilityOne Program.

No Address is an inspiring and profound film that offers important messages such as the bond of family, of hope fulfilled, of lives restored and second chances. We aim to inspire our audience to get involved in helping reduce homelessness in their own community. Please comment below a nonprofit organization that is addressing homelessness so we can have them join The Big 5 GIVEBACK. . . . #RobertCraigFilms #TheBig5GiveBack #NoAddressMovie #AmericansWithNoAddress #NonProfitOrganization #Homelessness #AdressingHomelessness #HomelessnessPrevention #PreventHomelessness #SupportNonProfitOrganization

Let’s be honest, there’s not much glamor to be found in the world of domestic violence advocacy (not that advocates get into this field for glamor). I mean, there might be one of those fancy shmancy charity galas once in a while. But for the majority of those in the nonprofit world, kudos often come in the form of an appreciative hug or handshake and maybe some celebratory donuts in the breakroom. (Donuts do make everything better.) However, there are times when domestic violence nonprofits recognize their peers through an award to highlight the amazing work others are doing. In most cases, this is a once-a-year honor given to a singular individual in the field who has accomplished outstanding feats in the effort to end domestic violence. In 2021, DomesticShelters.org began the Purple Ribbon Awards, awarding not just one person but over 100 individual advocates, survivors, support persons and nonprofits per year, and giving away $30,000 in grants. The entry period for 2024 is coming up in January and you may be thinking, I’d like to apply for an award, but I have no idea how to talk up myself or my organization. Don’t worry, we’re here for you. In this piece, we’re going to offer up some helpful tips and advice for submitting a stand-out nomination. We’ll also talk to some of the judges of previous years’ Purple Ribbon Awards to find out what kinds of things they deem award-worthy. https://lnkd.in/eFZ8ReQj #DomesticViolence #Abuse #DomesticAbuse #PRA #PurpleRibbonAwards #PRA2024

In the digital age, violence has taken on a new form - online violence. It's not just words on a screen; it's threats, harassment, and abuse that can leave lasting scars.

Together, we can create a safer, more compassionate online world for everyone. #StopOnlineViolence #DigitalSafety #RespectOnline #EndCyberAbuse #OnlineSafety #RaiseAwareness #SpreadKindness Learn more at: https://lnkd.in/gRfineXE . . #NGO #NonProfit #Charity #HumanRights #SupportNGO #NGOWork #SocialJustice #NGOImpact #Volunteer #CommunitySupport #Survivor #EndViolence #BreakTheSilence #SupportSurvivors #SpeakOut #EmpowerSurvivors #HealingJourney #StrengthInSurvivors #ViolenceAwareness #Recovery
