L.I. Against Domestic Violence

Today is Wear Teal Day! We wear teal to raise awareness of sexual assault and to start the conversation on how to prevent it. #SAAM #Teal #30DaysofSaam

Sexual assault affects people of all ages. However, the majority of survivors are under 30 years old at the time of assault. #SAAM #sexualviolenceprevention

Happy Easter to all that are celebrating!

Join us all month and help us raise awareness of sexual assault, support survivors and say #NoMore

LIADV’s mission, culture and values are grounded in equality and inclusivity. We recognize and support the needs of all survivors. #TransgenderDayofVisibility #survivor #humanrights

Minnesota is among a majority of states that treat intoxication as a barrier to consent only if the victim became drunk against their will. As of 2016, intoxication provisions in 40 states did not include situations where someone chose to consume drugs or alcohol, according to Brooklyn Law Review. Because of this, sexual assaults are not treated as a criminal act. This must change immediately. Choosing to consume alcohol does not justify being victimized in any way shape or form.
