Domestic Violence and Legal Advocacy

SCHEDULE PRESENTATION

OTHER GEORGIA STATE RESOURCES

Georgia Coalition Against Domestic Violence

GCADV envisions a Georgia free of domestic violence. We empower survivors and the programs that serve them, we educate the public, and we advocate for responsive public policy. Our strength is in numbers, as we collaborate throughout Georgia to stop domestic violence.

The Georgia Commission on Family Violence

At GCFV, we believe that a coordinated community response is the best way to address the problem of family violence. A coordinated community response means that every segment of the community - including judges, advocates, law enforcement, medical professionals, educators, and concerned citizens - is responsible for helping to end family violence. In other words, everyone, including you, can be a part of the solution. GCFV works with communities and systems across the state to provide leadership in strengthening Georgia's families by ending family violence.

NATIONAL RESOURCES

Operating around the clock, seven days a week, confidential and free of cost, the National Domestic Violence Hotline provides lifesaving tools and immediate support to enable victims to find safety and live lives free of abuse.

The National Teen Dating Hotline

Loveisrespect’s mission is to engage, educate and empower young people to prevent and end abusive relationships.

The Red Flag Campaign

Red Flag uses a bystander intervention strategy to address and prevent sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking on college campuses. The campaign encourages friends and other campus community members to say something when they see warning signs ("red flags") for sexual assault, dating violence, or stalking in a friend’s relationship.

No More

NO MORE is a unifying symbol and campaign to raise public awareness and engage bystanders around ending domestic violence and sexual assault. Launched in March 2013 by a coalition of leading advocacy groups, service providers, the U.S. Department of Justice, and major corporations, NO MORE is supported by hundreds of national and local groups and by thousands of individuals, organizations, universities, and communities who are using its signature blue symbol to increase visibility for domestic violence and sexual assault.
