October 21st through 26th marks Week Without Violence.

Your local YWCA Greensboro is joining YWCA USA and other local chapters around the world to participate in this global movement to raise awareness about gender-based violence.

This year’s theme is “Financial Trauma: From Financial Abuse to Safety and Justice. Financial abuse is an often overlooked form of abuse, but happens in 99% of domestic violence cases.

Visit the official Week Without Violence website to learn more about the movement, access resources about gender-based violence and financial abuse, hear stories from survivors, review fact sheets, and more.

We invite you to share your reasons for participating in this year’s #WeekWithoutViolence. By filling out our printable signs, you can make your voice heard and inspire others to take part to prevent financial abuse.

Here’s how you can get involved:
1. Download and print our fillable signs.
2. Write why you’re taking part in #WWV24.
3. Post your sign on your social media accounts and use the hashtag #WWV24.
Together, we can create a powerful movement for change. Let’s stand united against
violence.
