Every year, the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence calls on people around the world to stand together to end violence against women and girls.
At Phoenix, this issue is deeply connected to the women we support.
More than 65% of the women in our residential services, many of them mothers, have experienced physical, emotional, or sexual violence. Drugs and alcohol have been a way to cope with these life-changing and debilitating experiences that no one should ever have to face.
During these 16 Days, the Phoenix Futures site will host resources, articles, and – with consent and compassion – survivor voices. We aim to raise awareness, challenge stigma, and encourage a culture where we are all slower to judge and quicker to understand.
