Breaking the Cycle of Domestic Violence
When the System Fails, Survivors Suffer. It’s Time for a New Approach.
Domestic Violence Affects Everyone
Domestic violence (DV) is a devastating reality that impacts individuals, families, and entire communities.
While traditional narratives often focus on a single perspective, the truth is that domestic violence is a two-way street – it affects people of all genders, backgrounds, and walks of life.
For too long, systemic responses have failed to provide gender inclusive, effective solutions. We believe that real change comes from awareness, education, and support for all victims – regardless of gender and without bias.
Equal Protection for All Domestic Violence Survivors
To effectively prevent domestic violence, the entire system, including law enforcement, courts, and government agencies, must uphold fairness and inclusivity.
Policies and programs should be based on facts, not bias, ensuring support for all survivors. A truly effective system protects everyone, regardless of gender. Practices must be grounded in these CORE Principles:

How We Can Prevent and Address Domestic Violence
Preventing domestic violence requires more than awareness – it demands real change. By addressing systemic failures, promoting evidence-based policies, and ensuring equal protection for all survivors, we can create a safer future.
Recognizing the Full Scope of the Issue
Traditional approaches to domestic violence have often been rooted in false narratives that DV is a single gender issue where men are mostly perpetrators and women mostly victims.
This leads to ineffective policies and support systems. A more holistic approach means:
- Acknowledging that both men and women can be a victim or a perpetrator.
- Ensuring equal access to protection, support, and justice.
- Protect our principle of presumption of innocence until proven guilty.
A Science-Backed Approach
Domestic violence is not a one-size-fits-all issue – it is shaped by psychological, social, and systemic factors.
Effective solutions must be rooted in research and real-world data, not gender ideologies or biased narratives.
By applying science-backed strategies, we can create policies and programs that truly protect survivors and prevent future abuse.
- Recognition that false allegations of abuse are a form of family violence.
- Evidence-based interventions rather than ideological assumptions.
- A commitment to fair, non-discriminatory policies for all.
