A Light for the Lost

Twenty percent of women in America will experience domestic, dating, or sexual violence in her lifetime. Every nine seconds a woman is assaulted or beaten. Nearly twenty people per minute in America are physically abused by an intimate partner; during one year, this equates to over ten million men and women.

Through online and shared resources, community outreach and survivor advocacy, and public programs and collaborations, Shine the Light Collective is broadening awareness and deepening the connection to understanding intimate partner violence.

Programming + Resources

A common thread in all that we do at Shine the Light Collective is the goal of strengthening the dialogue and fostering advocacy for domestic violence awareness. We demonstrate this not only in our efforts we are making through programs and outreach, and in providing a safe platform for those who want to bravely and thoughtfully share their story and experiences, but also through a carefully compiled set of resources. From comprehensive lists of local and national organizations to an in-depth explanation of the how, why, and what of domestic violence we strive to equip individuals with the information needed to better understand and heal from these issues, and by extension create a thoughtful and effective conversation.
