October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month
Minnesota law defines domestic abuse as physical harm, bodily injury or assault, or the infliction of fear of imminent physical harm, bodily injury or assault, when done by a family or household member. Terroristic threats, criminal sexual conduct
and interference with an emergency call are also forms of domestic abuse when they are committed by a family or household member. Attorney General Keith Ellison’s office has prepared a document, Rights and Resources for Victims of Domestic Abuse, that contains valuable information.
If you’re being hurt or abused, The Minnesota Day One Crisis Hotline 1.866.223.1111 assists you to get help, get safe, and get support. One call connects you with an advocate trained in supporting victims and survivors of domestic violence, sexual
assault, human trafficking who can help you find a shelter and the services you need in your area.
