EVERY 9 SECONDS A WOMAN IS ABUSED OR ASSAULTED IN THE UNITED STATES
Break Free. Rise Strong. Live Powerfully.
Every 9 SECONDS, a story of survival begins. Every 9 SECONDS, change becomes possible. It's time to disrupt the status quo.
Domestic Violence is No Longer a Personal Crisis
It's a Global Movement
Every 9 seconds marks a moment that demands disruption.
In the time it took you to read that sentence, another life was impacted by domestic violence – but these same 9 seconds also mark our opportunities for transformation.
At Nine Seconds, we're done being quiet. We're done with cycles of abuse, addiction, and incarceration destroying families and perpetuating trauma across generations. We're not just raising awareness, we're creating radical change through bold advocacy, transformative education, and holistic support.
This is more than a mission, it is an urgent movement. From personal crisis to global transformation.
Founded by survivor and advocate Dr. Marci Batiste, Nine Seconds Corporation takes a progressive and uncompromising stance: abuse in any form is unacceptable, and silence is no longer an option.
We serve as a resource and partner to individuals, families, and communities committed to breaking generational cycles of harm through proactive education, leadership training, and supportive character development.
Join the movement. Because every nine seconds matters, and change starts now.
Break Free. Rise Strong. Live Powerfully.
Our Mission
At Nine Seconds Corporation, we believe that every individual and every family deserves to live in a safe, supportive environment. Our mission is to promote violence-free homes and safe communities by providing trauma-informed training, support, and education to individuals and families in crisis.
A Progressive Approach
Nine Seconds is a progressive non-profit organization committed to disrupting cycles of abuse and trauma through bold action and transformative change.
Recovery from abuse is not the answer, awareness isn't cutting it, rates of suicide, addiction, incarceration, and domestic and family violence continue to rise. So, we raise our hand to say awareness has been ineffective and we are committed to pivot toward proactive solutions.
We can't afford to be timid or quiet we must be vocal and demand a culture shift that demand inclusion and stops leaving men out of the conversations. We have to be willing to listen and show them the same care, empathy, and consideration that has been extended to women for decades.
The fact of the matter is, women are more likely to be victims, men are more likely to be the ones inflicting the harm. Prevention isn't possible until we allow the needs and voices of men to be heard and ensure that they have resources, tools, and support to let their voices be heard.
