The See It. Name It. Change It! campaign empowers individuals to take action against intimate partner violence (IPV). By identifying, calling out, and challenging IPV, we can work together to stop it in our communities.
Think of it like the fire safety rule we all know: Stop, Drop, and Roll. It’s simple and easy to remember.
When you see intimate partner violence and name it by calling it out, you’re already taking the first step toward change.
It’s simple. It’s powerful. And it’s something we can all do.
