What is Domestic Violence?
Domestic Violence is the use of physical, threatening, or controlling behavior by a spouse, partner, or someone involved in a dating relationship. The abuse often becomes more frequent and more violent over time.
Though domestic violence is often physical through acts such as pushing, hitting, forced sexual acts, and more, it can take many other forms including threats, insults, isolation, lying, neglect, and financial limitation.
Domestic violence affects both the victim's physical and mental health, and also has a devastating effect on children who are exposed to it.
Who Are We?
Safe Passage has been empowering victims of domestic
violence to live independently and free from abuse since
1997. What started as a crisis helpline and limited outreach
services like court advocacy and support groups, quickly
became much more. In 2004, Safe Passage completed
construction of their state-of-the-art shelter facility, and
continued expanding their outreach services. To date, the
organization has helped over 10,000 individuals struggling
with domestic violence through their award-winning
intervention services and prevention initiatives.
