SPEAK UP, ACT NOW!

   We all have a voice to create a safe world that is free of violence.
                 We are all bystanders. As bystanders, we can save lives.

If you know someone in an abusive relationship:

• Don’t engage in a physical fight; your safety is a priority
• Speak up and acknowledge the situation, and if it’s safe, ask the person if she/he is okay
• Listen and believe the survivor; emphasize the survivor’s safety
• Let the survivor know that she/he is not responsible for the abuse and doesn’t deserve it
• Support and respect all decisions; honor confidentiality
• Offer resources, like DVRP’s hotline: 202-833-2233
