Domestic violence calls are some of the most
dangerous calls for law enforcement to respond to,
and the majority of police officers killed in the line of
duty are killed by men who have strangled women
(Training Institute on Strangulation Prevention).

Preventing domestic violence doesn’t just keep
victims safe. It keeps the whole community safe.

For many women and children, the biggest threat to their health and safety lives in their own home.
As North Dakotans, we have a culture of “North Dakota nice” and family values, but does that culture remain behind closed doors?

🚺In 2025 alone, over 6,200 victims were served by domestic violence advocacy centers across North Dakota. 81% of victims served were women.
‍‍‍
👪On top of the 6,200+ victims served, over 4,640 North Dakota children were directly impacted by domestic violence incidents in 2025.

Using violence and intimidation to have power and control over another person is the opposite of “family values” and who we are as a state. Many victims fear for their lives, and the trauma from domestic violence can be felt for generations. In
order to make North Dakota truly safe for everyone, we must address the violence happening in our own neighborhoods.

Good Morning!
For Domestic Violence Awareness Month I wanted to present four historic pictures to show somethings never change, and others absolutely do when we aren't in position to protect our interests, ourselves, and our joy in life.

a. 'The Birthday Cake' June 24, 1914 by Harry Whittier Frees
https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2013648266/ See the Library of Congress for more historic pictures
b. 'Sarajevan Catholic, 1912 by Auguste Leon (picture collection from Albert-Kahn Museum and Garden). Catholic parents in the Balkans began tattooing their children as young as 6 years old in an attempt to protect them from the devshirme or 'recruitment' by the Ottoman Empire 1438 - 1703. 200 This catholic tattooing tradition persisted into the first color photographs and is still seen in the Balkins today.
c. Maud Wagner 1907, One of the earliest well-known female tattooists in America. She began hand-tattooing as an apprentice to Ohio man Gus Wagner who she later married. She was born in Kansas and buried there with her husband.
d. & e. Afghanistan 1950s-60s original artists unknown - reprinted by Mohammad Qayoumi, d: '1950s Afghanistan Record Store' e: 'Central park of Kabul near the Hollywood movie Theatre'.

If things in your relationship have changed and you are accepting things past-you never would have imagined accepting; if you are having trouble finding the support to dig your heels in and aim for change; if the one you love is trying to break who you are and your free-expression with the goal to keep you obedient, afraid, and isolated- there is support to be found
