Message from Commissioner

Cecile Noel

In the past few weeks, in New York City alone, we have seen cases of horrific intimate partner and family violence. In the wake of such grim occurrences, it can sometimes feel like our efforts are not enough. However, on the heels of Domestic Violence Awareness Month—a time when we run, march, rally and raise critical awareness about intimate partner violence—I remain buoyed by the unflagging efforts and commitment of advocates who work with and for survivors every day. As we look toward this year’s 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence awareness, I also feel a sense of renewed purpose and resolve to keep spreading the word about resources for survivors. We can help survivors, every day, one survivor at a time. And, as ever, your partnership could not be more crucial.

This year, from November 25 (the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women) through December 10 (the International Human Rights Day), you can consider...

• Joining us in the annual campaign that mobilizes activists, government leaders, students, academia, and the private sector around the globe to raise awareness and call for an end to GBV—a fundamental human rights violation that must end.
• Download the 16 Days of Activism Action Kit for ideas about what you can do in your community, including hosting an event. (Register your event at on.nyc.gov/2D7TenK)
• Attend events like our 16 Days of Activism against GBV Art Gallery, in conjunction with Escape Artists, showcasing the impact of GBV on our communities (Follow us on social media for more information and to RSVP)
• Amplify our messages of support, information, and resources for survivors on social media on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram

• Sharing the City’s searchable resource directory for services for domestic and gender-based violence survivors, NYC HOPE, and spread the word to your colleagues, clients, friends, and amongst your broader networks. The re-launched website includes information for victims and survivors (such as tech safety, where/how to get help), and for friends and family and other loved ones (such as recognizing key signs of abuse, and how to support others).

Here in New York City, we hear, believe, and support survivors. Help is available. Let’s mobilize and spread the word together so that more New Yorkers reach out for the services and resources available, for themselves and the people they care about.

Every month, ENDGBV’s NYC Family Justice Centers (FJCs) host Core trainings and workshops for service providers. We also occasionally provide advanced and special trainings. Sign up for our upcoming trainings

Our ENDGBV Training team also customizes trainings for service providers and their specific roles at City agencies and community-based organizations. Our Healthy Relationships Training Academy provides free interactive, intersectional, and discussion-based workshops on teen dating violence, healthy relationships, and consent to young people, ages 11 to 24.
