Domestic Violence is No Longer a Personal Crisis
It's a Global Movement
Every 9 seconds marks a moment that demands disruption.

Our Mission
Nine Seconds disrupts cycles of domestic violence and creates pathways to freedom through bold advocacy, transformative education, and holistic support. We stand as an unwavering beacon of change, empowering survivors to Break Free, Rise Strong, and Live Powerfully while demanding safe, equitable communities.
A Progressive Approach
Nine Seconds is a progressive non-profit organization disrupting cycles of domestic violence through bold action and transformative change. We take an uncompromising stance: abuse in any form is unacceptable, and silence is no longer an option.
Our holistic approach to recovery and healing begins at the root of dysfunction – addressing complex trauma within generational systems and confronting the values, beliefs, and behaviors that perpetuate cycles of violence. We understand that lasting transformation requires diving deep into early experiences that shape patterns of abuse.
We create inclusive pathways to healing that serve all survivors, while addressing the disproportionate impact on women and girls. Through immediate crisis response, comprehensive support services, and long-term healing programs, we're transforming personal crisis into global movement.
From Breaking Free to Rising Strong to Living Powerfully, we're not just supporting recovery – we're catalyzing a movement that demands change. Every nine seconds marks another opportunity to disrupt generational trauma and create pathways to freedom.
