October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. As part of my work with Survived & Punished, I developed a curriculum unit with contributions from others focused on the criminalization of domestic violence survivors. It is our hope that people will use the unit for political education and consciousness-raising in October and beyond. The curriculum can be accessed here at no cost. Complete the survey and make sure to copy and paste the link to download the curriculum before exiting.

After what has been a very emotionally taxing and potentially triggering week for survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence, I’m also sharing an activity that I hope will provide an opportunity to honor and uplift the victims and survivors of gender-based violence in our communities.

My comrade artist Ruby Pinto created a set of silhouettes that can be used to create a wall of remembrance/wall of honor to uplift and remember victims and survivors of domestic violence this October.
