2) We know that domestic abusers are extremely dangerous when they have access to a gun. A gun in a violent situation makes it 5x more likely that a woman experiencing domestic violence will be killed. #SCOTUS

We are thrilled to share some incredible news: Katie Welsh, the WCA’s vice president of programs, has made 2023’s “40 Under 40” list, compiled by the Midlands Business Journal. Congratulations, Katie, on this well-deserved recognition!

Domestic violence survivors, advocates and programs urgently need support. #GiveForDV and help us continue our essential work: wcaomaha.org/donate/ #Every1KnowsSome1 #DVAM

To help prevent domestic violence, we need to tackle the underlying issues that make domestic violence harder to stop, such as poverty and lack of access to safe and affordable housing. #Every1KnowsSome1 #DVAM

According to @NNEDV’s 17th Annual #DVCounts Report, domestic abuse survivors in Nebraska made requests for services that programs could not provide because they did not have the resources for emergency shelter, hotels, motels and other housing.
