Acting Director Catherine Pierce Addresses National Violence Prevention Conference
Photo of Catherine Pierce "We have all known for a long time that violence against women is not just a women’s issue – sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking are harmful crimes that breed fear and hopelessness in our families and communities. While women’s experience must always inform the work that is needed to be done, ending violence against women has never been the sole responsibility of women. Men are crucial partners in preventing violence and I am grateful to the men who have been our allies for the past thirty years and for the men who are stepping forward today."
