Family Violence Unit
Our Family Violence Unit assists with survivors of family violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, and child abuse.
What is Family Violence?
Family Violence is a pattern of behaviors used by one partner to maintain power and control over another partner in an intimate relationship.
​
These behaviors can be ones that physically harm, cause fear, prevent a partner from doing what they want, or force them to behave in ways they don't want.
What is Human Trafficking?
Human Trafficking is a violation of human rights in which victims are exploited for either labor or sexual acts for profit.
​
Sex Trafficking is when an individual uses force, fraud, or coercion to recruit, harbor, transport, provision, obtain, patronize, or solicit someone else for a commercial sex act.
