💜 "One of the things I’ve come to appreciate through my involvement with the Women’s Resource Center is just how many assumptions we make about domestic violence — who experiences it, what it looks like, and whether it happens in our own community.

"We are incredibly grateful to Senator Whitehouse and Congresswoman Dingell for introducing this important piece of legislation that will provide a peace of mind for survivors of domestic violence all across the country. We know that the presence of a fi***rm during a domestic violence assault significantly increases the chance of lethality. Of the 26 domestic violence homicides that occurred in RI between 2016 and 2020, 42% involved a fi***rm. This legislation will prevent future tragedies and save countless lives." - Jessica Walsh, Executive Director, Women's Resource Center.
