Domestic Violence Awareness

The No Bruises Campaign: Standing Against Hidden Domestic Violence aims to raise awareness, provide support, and advocate for victims of non-physical domestic violence. This form of abuse often leaves no visible marks but can have devastating emotional, psychological, and financial impacts.

Our campaign will utilize education, advocacy, community engagement, and partnerships to create a supportive environment for victims and work towards the eradication of domestic violence in all its forms.
