Think domestic violence doesn’t affect you?

Think Again.
Statistics suggest it’s likely that someone you know is being abused. Maybe it's someone you work with. Maybe it's one of your daughter's friends. Or maybe it's a neighbor or a family member.

Abuse Does Not Discriminate.
Physical, emotional, verbal, sexual, and financial abuse takes place in every community across Kansas.

You Can Help.
Even if you don’t think you know someone who is being abused, we all have a role to play in ending domestic violence in Kansas. You can help. Every step, however small, counts.
