Following #DecolonizeSAAM and Sexual Assault Awareness Month we are continuing to decolonize the anti-violence movement for Domestic Violence Awareness Month w/#DecolonizeDVAM. Our goal continues to be to reassess, re-conceptualize, deconstruct, decolonize, and re-center the anti-violence movement.

For the second week we covered childhood abuse and adult survivors, and transformative and victim-centered justice. We looked at non-carceral interventions and how to support people who've been harmed.
