I have the right to be treated with respect.
To know me will be to experience a voice that is respectful.
I recognize that relationship abuse is a problem and commit to stand strong in the courage
of my convictions. I will not be silent.
I pledge to educate myself and others about the causes and forms of domestic violence.
I will talk with my friends, family and loved ones about healthy relationships.
I will lead by example and teach that strength, confidence, and worth come from within. On
the one hand, I will inspire. In turn, I will be inspired.
I commit to helping build a community that does not tolerate violence.
I acknowledge that all people deserve to live in a safe and loving environment.
I accept the challenge to become part of the solution. Ending domestic violence
starts with me.
