Acerca de la violencia doméstica:

  • La violencia contra la mujer -especialmente la ejercida por su pareja y la violencia sexual- constituye un grave problema de salud pública y una violación de los derechos humanos de las mujeres.
  • Las estimaciones mundiales publicadas por la OMS indican que alrededor de una de cada tres (35%) mujeres en el mundo han sufrido violencia física y/o sexual de pareja o violencia sexual por terceros en algún momento de su vida.
  • La mayoría de estos casos son violencia infligida por la pareja. En todo el mundo, casi un tercio (30%) de las mujeres que han tenido una relación de pareja refieren haber sufrido alguna forma de violencia física y/o sexual por parte de su pareja en algún momento de su vida.
  • Un 38% de los asesinatos de mujeres que se producen en el mundo son cometidos por su pareja masculina.
  • La violencia puede afectar negativamente la salud física, mental, sexual y reproductiva de las mujeres y, en algunos entornos, puede aumentar el riesgo de contraer el VIH.
  • Los hombres que tienen un nivel de instrucción bajo, han sido objeto de malos tratos durante la infancia, han estado expuestos a escenas de violencia doméstica contra sus madres y al uso nocivo de alcohol, han vivido en entornos donde se aceptaba la violencia y había normas diferentes para cada sexo, y creen que tienen derechos sobre las mujeres son más proclives a cometer actos violentos

A Letter from Kris Scott, CEO

On behalf of the staff and board of directors of Anew: Building Beyond Violence and Abuse, I extend our deepest condolences to the families of Shaneiqua Pugh, her seven children, and all those impacted by Sunday’s mass shooting in Shreveport, Louisiana.

In recent weeks, we have witnessed a devastating number of lives lost to domestic violence—individuals killed at the hands of intimate partners. Among them are Dr. Cerina Fairfax, wife of Virginia Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax; Nancy Metayer Bowen, Vice Mayor of Coral Springs, Florida; Pastor Tammy McCollum of Charlotte, North Carolina; Myneika Scott of Grovetown, Georgia; and Davonta Curtis of Chicago, Illinois. These names represent just a fraction of the lives lost. Too many stories go untold, and too many families are left grieving.

As these tragedies continue to unfold, I am reminded of the urgency of our work. Domestic violence does not discriminate—it affects individuals across all communities, backgrounds, and identities. In recent weeks, there has been heightened visibility around the murders of Black women.

According to the National Network to End Domestic Violence, 45.1% of Black women have experienced domestic violence, and more than half of Black female homicides are connected to intimate partner violence.

At Anew, we see the impact of this violence every day—and we also see the possibility for change. We provide comprehensive, wraparound services to survivors, while also investing in prevention efforts that address the root causes of abuse.

We believe accountability is essential. Through our Partner Abuse Intervention Program, we work with individuals who have used violence, helping them take responsibility for their actions while building the skills needed to create nonviolent, healthy relationships.

We also believe prevention begins early. Through our Community Education and Prevention Program, we are equipping young people—from pre-K through high school—with the knowledge and tools to build safe, respectful relationships and break cycles of harm before they begin.

This moment calls for more than awareness—it calls for action. Each of us has a role to play in creating safer communities, supporting survivors, and holding systems accountable. Everyone deserves to live a life free from abuse. I remain committed to a future where that is not an aspiration, but a reality.
