What does a VICTIM

of domestic violence or sexual assault

LOOK LIKE?

Last year, SBAP answered

2,220 crisis calls

on our 24 hour hotline.

YOU made it possible.

Why do we need to answer the phone

24 HOURS a day?

Because violence against women

NEVER SLEEPS.

FACT: More than HALF of female victims

of intimate violence live with

CHILDREN UNDER 12.

YOUR CONTRIBUTION

provided housing for

80 women and 50 children so they could

escape an abuser.

“I arrived here with my children wondering where I would go next….I had the

first restful night of sleep in months.” -Client of SBAP

FACT: 1/3 of allfemale murder victims

are killed byan INTIMATE PARTNER.

YOUR DONATION

provided an advocate

for 1,272 VICTIMS in the Bantam Court.

“After reading a Susan B. Anthony Project brochure, I finally admitted to myself that my husband was an

abuser and I was a victim.

You probably have no idea how many lives you have touched and, like mine,

have helped save.”

-Client of SBAP

YOUR GIFT

provides funding for victim support groups.

SBAP offered 150support meetings last year.

“When I left my husband, it was an

incredibly huge step and if it weren’t for Susan B. Anthony, being there for me

every step of the way, I would not

have made it.

I would have gone back for sure.”

-Client of SBAP

FACT: Boys who witness domestic violence

are twice as likely to abuse their own partners.

YOUR DONATION

provided educational programs

for more than

5,000 children.

WHAT YOU DO

MAKES A DIFFERENCE.

THANK YOU.
