Domestic abuse and sexual assault are unfortunate occurrences that happen daily. Although both are quite prevalent and affect people from all demographics, advocates against domestic abuse and sexual assault believe they aren’t a priority in this country.
There are many organizations working tirelessly to end domestic abuse, however the “No More” campaign was created to “unleash new, major attention” to people who are affected – whether directly or indirectly – by domestic violence and sexual assault.
Organizers say this national campaign is also the first unifying symbol to express support for ending domestic violence and sexual assault. It can be used by anyone advocating against such brutalities.
“‘No More’ shines a spotlight on these issues. Like the peace sign, the “support our troops” ribbon or the AIDS ribbon, our goal is to use the ‘No More’ symbol to help unify all people and organizations that want to end domestic violence and sexual assault,” said the “No More” campaign started by 50 individuals from various backgrounds. Corporations, including Verizon and Liz Claiborne, and major domestic violence and sexual assault organizations across the U.S., such as the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office on Violence Against Women, stand with and support the “No More” campaign.
