Domestic Violence Awareness Month

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

National Domestic Violence Hotline: (800) 799-SAFE

Did you know:

• 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men in the United States have experienced some form of physical violence by an intimate partner?

• 36.8% of Colorado women and 30.5% of Colorado men experience intimate partner physical violence, sexual violence, and/or intimate partner stalking in their lives.

• Immigrant women are particularly vulnerable to domestic violence and may feel trapped in abusive relationships because of immigration laws, language barriers, social isolation, and lack of financial resources.

Regardless of your immigration status, you can get help. Survivors of domestic violence can call RMIAN at (303) 433-2812 or visit our website at www.rmian.org to evaluate their immigration options.

The National Domestic Violence Hotline can be reached at 800-799-SAFE.
