Domestic violence affects millions of people in the United States, regardless of ethnicity or gender, and can take on the form of mental, physical, emotional, sexual, or financial abuse. Myths like “it’s easy to leave” or “it only happens to certain people” add layers of stigma and make it harder for survivors to speak up, get help, or leave.
