Domestic Violence
Domestic violence and gun violence are deeply interconnected, impacting millions of women, families, and communities across the United States. The presence of guns in intimate partner disputes leads to more fatal outcomes. Access to a gun makes it five times more likely that an abusive partner will kill his female victim. Help is available: The National Domestic Violence Hotline is available 24/7 for callers to speak to a trained advocate to plan for safety, connect to local resources, identify abuse and more.
