Violence Free Minnesota recently shared the the "Rooted in Community: Survivor Defined Safety Through Culturally Responsive Practices" report.

https://www.vfmn.org/reports

This report answers the question: “What might domestic violence response, support, and services look like if we listened to the survivors most often left out of the conversation?”

VFMN partnered with culturally specific advocacy programs across Minnesota to conduct focus groups with survivors of domestic violence from diverse communities. Survivors shared their experiences with abuse, barriers to seeking safety, and the interventions they believe could have made a difference.
While each community identified unique challenges shaped by culture, history, and systemic inequities, common themes emerged across groups, including the need for safe and affordable housing, flexible financial assistance, culturally specific advocacy services, healthy relationship education, community-based intervention options, and improved responses from systems such as law enforcement, schools, and employers.
The findings underscore the importance of investing in survivor-centered, culturally responsive approaches that recognize the diverse realities of survivors and expand pathways to safety, healing, accountability, and long-term well-being.

Awareness is where change begins- but action is what saves lives. 💜

Domestic violence thrives in silence, stigma, and systems that look away. Education, accountability, survivor support, and community action all matter.

If we want social change, we have to do more than notice the problem- we have to respond to it.
