Domestic Violence Organizations

Although it is typically envisioned as occurring between partners, domestic violence is any emotional, physical or sexual abuse by a household member. Rather than being isolated events, domestic violence tends to recur and increase in severity over time.

Victims often wrestle with feelings of fear, loyalty, guilt and shame. Further aggravating the situation is that victims are often financially dependent, and many will live out their lives in fear, unaware that help is available.

Today, more and more communities are responding to the needs of these victims, and more and more victims are reaching out to them for help. Laws.com is taking an active step towards stopping this terrible cycle of violence by compiling a list of resources for victims of domestic violence, as well as the people in position to spot signs of domestic violence, to report instances of DV. They are listed in alphabetical order by state.
