Violence impacts not only the immediate victims but also their families, neighborhoods, and entire communities, contributing to long-term trauma, health disparities, and economic instability.
Prevention efforts help reduce crime, foster a sense of security, and improve community well-being.
Prevention initiatives promote social justice and build stronger, more resilient communities where people can live without fear.
