Strangulation doesn't just leave a mark on the body. Its impact reaches much further.
The numbers tell a story we cannot afford to ignore.
68–80% of women at high risk will experience near-fatal strangulation by their partner.
92% of women who have experienced intimate partner violence, including strangulation, are estimated to have suffered some type of traumatic brain injury (TBI).
43% of children witnessed their mothers being strangled.
9% of those children were also strangled.
Read those numbers again.
Strangulation is not just an assault against one person. Children who witness this violence are impacted, too. Survivors may carry invisible injuries long after the incident is over.
This is why awareness matters. This is why education matters. And this is why we cannot afford to minimize, excuse, or overlook strangulation.
Through our SEVEN HUNDRED & FIFTY campaign, we're bringing attention to the dangers of strangulation and the devastating impact it can have on survivors and their children.
Because what happens behind closed doors doesn't stay behind closed doors.
