The theme of this year`s initiative is “breaking the silence,” with a month of events centered on bringing visibility to survivors of gender-based domestic violence, abuse, and intimate partner homicides, many of whom are women and women of color. Some of the events this month include a walk/run/roller-skating 5K, a spa day for survivors at Bronx Borough Hall, court services training, and meditation sessions. They also strive to provide culturally responsive and specific help in as many languages as possible.
The panel discussions were aimed at engaging policymakers, agencies, and elected officials with advocates, survivors, and their families to find solutions for the symbiotic issues of domestic violence and homelessness. Another concern addressed was pets, which are another major factor in why intimate partner violence survivors do not leave a dangerous situation due to shelter and renting restrictions.
