Domestic Violence

A 2021 Summer Tribal Women Virtual Veteran series focused on indigenous women Veterans, domestic violence issues and a discussion on “Marrying military and traditional culture.”

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month and the White Ribbon VA supports the national “Stand Up to Stop Harassment Now!” campaign.

White Ribbon VA aims to eliminate sexual harassment, sexual assault, and domestic violence in VA facilities and surrounding communities and to promote positive change in organizational culture.

During Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and beyond, VA encourages Veterans, their partners, and VA staff members to check out resources and services related to intimate partner violence (IPV).

VA is joining forces with communities across the nation to launch White Ribbon VA. The aim of White Ribbon VA is to eliminate sexual harassment, sexual assault and domestic violence.

In America 27% of women and 11% of men report experiencing intimate partner violence. And it is higher in the Veteran population. Learn about VA’s Intimate Partner Violence Assistance Program.

White Ribbon VA Month serves to focus our attention on the deep impact of domestic violence and abuse on those individuals and to join with them to say it is time to rise against violence.

Women Veterans are more likely than civilians to experience intimate partner violence (IPV). Dr. Katherine Iverson of VA Boston Healthcare System studies the connection between IPV and TBI.
