Tell a Gal Pal about domestic violence. Let’s face it together

Break the taboo. Educate Others. Support Survivors

Did you know these startling facts?

Each day in the U.S., 3 women die as a result of domestic violence.

More than 1 in 4 women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime. 

Nearly 3 out of 4 Americans know someone who is or has been a victim.

Only 54 percent of Americans have talked to a friend about domestic violence, and only 56 percent would know what to do to help a victim of domestic violence
 
The Allstate Foundation and TwitterMoms have teamed up to raise awareness of domestic violence, and they need our help by  joining the Tell a Gal Pal movement, which calls on everyone to talk openly about domestic violence and support those in need~
 
Domestic violence touches millions – more than seven out of 10 Americans know someone who is or has been a victim – but somehow it still remains a taboo subject.
