Abuse is about pow­er and con­trol. When sur­vivors are forced to stay in the home or in close prox­im­i­ty to their abuser more fre­quent­ly, an abuser can use any tool to exert con­trol over their vic­tim, includ­ing a nation­al health con­cern such as COVID-19. In a time where com­pa­nies may be encour­ag­ing their employ­ees work remote­ly, and the CDC is encour­ag­ing “social dis­tanc­ing,” an abuser may take advan­tage of an already stress­ful sit­u­a­tion to gain more control.

Your dona­tion helps ensure that when a sur­vivor is ready to speak, some­one at The Hot­line is here to lis­ten. The Hot­line is the only nation­al, full-ser­vice hot­line that answers the call for both vic­tims and sur­vivors, along with con­cerned friends, fam­i­ly, co-work­ers and oth­ers seek­ing infor­ma­tion and guid­ance on how to help some­one they know.

The Hot­line pro­vides con­fi­den­tial, one-on-one sup­port to each caller/chatter/texter, offer­ing cri­sis inter­ven­tion, options for next steps, and direct con­nec­tion to sources for imme­di­ate safe­ty. Our com­pre­hen­sive data­base holds more than 5,000 agen­cies and resources in com­mu­ni­ties all across the coun­try. Bilin­gual advo­cates are on hand to speak with callers, and our Lan­guage Line offers trans­la­tions in 170 dif­fer­ent languages.
