Here’s how you can help the Center for Victims end violence against women and girls


This issue is becoming more and more important!


Awareness is great. But Pittsburgh’s men are being challenged to step up in a new way in the fight against domestic violence and sexual assault through a new TV campaign by the Center for Victims.

Some suggestions for how to get involved include taking a junior woman to a client meeting, educating young boys about stereotypes and violence against women and nominating women for senior jobs.

Download selfie cards, take a picture and share it on social media with the hashtag #BeBoldForChange.

Download posters for the workplace and ask colleagues to write or add yellow sticky notes for the actions they’re going to take.
