#October is #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth. Around 75% of fatal cases of DV are women.#DomesticViolence affects your friends, your family, your neighbors, your colleagues, and so many people around you-- and you may not know. Talking about domestic violence spreads awareness and may help someone recognize the signs of being in a harmful relationship.
About us
I Support the Girls collects and distributes donations of new and gently used bras, and individually sealed tampons and maxi pads to women and girls nationally and internationally. Whether they be homeless, refugees, in transitional housing, or fleeing domestic violence, women and girls should never have to compromise on dignity. Women and girls who find themselves homeless shouldn’t have to worry about finding bras, much less proper menstrual products. Yet they wear the same bra for years, potentially causing health problems, and each month have to make a choice between paying for meals or buying a box of tampons. Since its founding, ISTG has collected and distributed over 25,000,000 products to 3 million women through 5,000 vetted partners. ISTG has 50 affiliates across the United States and international affiliates in Canada, Australia, the Philippines, Germany, and Pakistan.

We're so happy to be supporting a great center 💚
