In Rhode Island, USA, many victims of domestic violence are left without adequate support and resources to escape their dangerous situations.

According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV), 1 in 4 women and 1 in 9 men experience severe intimate partner physical violence in the United States. Yet, there is a significant lack of shelters specifically designed for these victims within our state.

We cannot stand by while our fellow Rhode Islanders suffer. We need to establish more domestic violence shelters that provide safe spaces for victims to heal and recover. These facilities should also offer resources such as counseling services, legal aid, job training programs, and other forms of support that can help survivors rebuild their lives after escaping abuse.

By signing this petition, you are advocating for the establishment of more domestic violence shelters and resources within Rhode Island. You are giving voice to those who have been silenced by fear and oppression. Together we can make a difference and save lives.

Please sign this petition today, let's ensure no victim has to face their struggle alone ever again.
