Violence at the hands of an intimate partner affects more than 10 million people in the U.S. each year. For incarcerated women, the numbers are even more staggering—over 77% have experienced intimate partner violence, and 86% have survived sexual violence. These deep, lasting traumas are directly connected to the cycle of punishment and incarceration we work to end.
MI-CEMI is proud to stand with survivors and support our partners at the National Lifers of America, “Life After Overcoming Trauma,” a powerful event hosted by Minister Mary Marshall to raise awareness about domestic violence.
Healing is justice. Community care is resistance. Join us in showing up for both.
