What are Civil Protection Orders (CPO)? What do they do? How can someone get one? Let’s dig in! CPOs can provide survivors of domestic violence/intimate partner violence with legal protection from people who have caused harm. Part of NVRDC’s legal services provide survivors with assistance in obtaining a CPO in DC Court.

We are continuing to look at domestic violence/intimate partner violence through an intersectional lens and focus on marginalized identities. Every survivor has a unique experience with DV/IPV and their own identities which can play a role in shaping those experiences.

Let’s look at domestic violence and intimate partner violence through an intersectional lens and focus on housing. Housing can play a large role in why survivors may choose to stay in abusive relationships. Let’s talk about why.

Let’s dig into the spectrum of domestic violence/intimate partner violence. When we think about DV/IPV, we might associate it with physical abuse. But DV/IPV encompasses a spectrum of different behaviors and types of abuse that cause harm. It is also important to remember that we DO NOT rank survivor experiences! Harm is harm. There is no such thing as a “perfect” survivor, and no two survivors have quite the same experiences. We support ALL survivors! #DVAM2024 #DVAM #IPVAwareness #SupportAllSurvivors
