There was a time when emergency department staff routinely treated domestic violence survivors and then sent them right back home to face further abuse, without the ability to offer referrals or other help.
When few OB/GYNs knew that pregnant women are at vastly elevated risk of homicide, often at the hands of a current or former partner.
When few physicians or nurses talked to young people about sexual coercion and rape.
For decades, Futures Without Violence has been working to change all that.
