Words of Advocates & Needs of Survivors Social Media Campaign
For three years in a row, New York State has had the highest demand for domestic violence services in the country. But what are the needs of survivors? What do advocates highlight from their experiences working with victims?
October is domestic violence awareness month. It is a time when survivors come forward to share their stories, both directly and through the words of advocates. At the NYS Coalition Against Domestic Violence, we educate advocates, policy makers, and the public about victims' most pressing needs, both during abusive relationships and after they decide to leave.
Join us in sharing these stories on social media platforms.
Use the #NYDVAM & #DVAM2018 hashtags in your posts to highlight the amazing work happening all over the state to build awareness and prevent domestic violence. You can follow the campaign on our
Facebook
and
Twitter
pages where we'll be highlighting the work being done by our member programs across New York State to support survivors and end domestic violence.

Telling Our Stories: From the Page to the Stage,
An Evening with Zoë Flowers
October 24, 2018
NYSCADV is pleased to present "Telling Our Stories: From the Page to the Stage, an evening with Zoë Flowers."
Like many young women, Zoë Flowers found herself in a dangerous relationship in her early twenties. The experience motivated her to become a catalyst for change. In 2004, she started interviewing women about their experiences with domestic and sexual violence.
From Ashes to Angel's Dust: A Journey Through Womanhood (FA2D) is the book that emerged from those interviews. Zoë, in collaboration with the The New York State Coalition Against Domestic Violence will share stories from this intensely personal look at domestic/sexual violence and the road to healing. ASHES - a ChoreoDrama that uses monologues, poems and vignettes to breathe life into the original stories chronicled in Zoë's book and includes new stories about historical oppression, the media, campus sexual assault, body image, and the journey to self-love. ASHES has had many successful performances across the country. Additionally, ASHES is being further developed through Brown University's Research-to-Performance Method.
Zoë Flowers is an author, poet, actress, Reiki Master and seasoned domestic violence advocate. Her poetry and essays can be found in Stand Our Ground; Poems for Trayvon Martin and Marissa Alexander, and Dear Sister: Letters From Survivors of Sexual Assault and several online publications and journals.
