Anyone can be a victim of domestic violence. There is NO “typical victim.” Victims of domestic violence come from all walks of life, varying age groups, all backgrounds, all communities, all education levels, all economic levels, all cultures, all ethnicities, all religions, all abilities, and all lifestyles. That’s why it’s so important to understand the dynamics of abuse. #DynamicsofAbuse #DomesticViolence #SupportingSurvivors

Over the past five years, The Hotline has received 111 contacts who stated their partner poisoned them. But why would my partner poison me? Abusive partners poison their significant others as a way to gain or maintain power and control. Poisoning makes survivors physically ill or weak, which makes it easier for the abusive partner to control them. It is scary to realize that your partner is poisoning you. You may not know what to believe or how to get help. Our advocates are available 24/7 through call, chat, and text to talk about the situation.

Abusive relationships are extremely complex situations and it takes a lot of courage to leave. Abuse is about power and control. When a survivor leaves their abusive relationship, they threaten the power and control their partner has established over the survivor. This often causes the partner to retaliate in harmful ways. As a result, leaving is often the most dangerous period of time for survivors of abuse.

Between March and April 2024, the National Domestic Violence Hotline (The Hotline), in partnership with BWJP Battered Women's Justice Project, conducted a survey to learn about survivor experiences with firearm violence and abuse. We've created a social media toolkit designed to help you spread awareness on this important message.
