Help End Violence

We can all help to achieve equality for women and stop violence against women by examining our own values and behaviors.

Confront your friend’s partner about the violence. They may become violent towards you and/or make it more difficult for you to see your friend. They may also take out their anger at you on your friend.
Bad-mouth her partner. An abused woman wants the violence to stop, but she may want her relationship to last.
