Deaf Advocates Speak Out in Favor of 24/7 Domestic Violence Hotline

"I hope this time our Deaf community is able to realize that me must have this, not maybe or we will someday, we must have it now."

- Domestic Violence Advocate

 

Last week we told you about domestic violence victims, but what about the people helping them along the way? We sat down with two advocates to discuss the barriers victims face when searching for help.

You Can't End Domestic Violence in the Deaf Community Alone 

Anchor 2

Meet two domestic violence survivors: one hearing woman who got out of her situation because of access to a 24/7 domestic violence hotline, and one Deaf woman who's situation was prolonged because of lack of access and understanding. This all leads back to the  #WhoWillAnswer campaign to fund a National Deaf Domestic Violence Hotline.
