The British Consulate General New York and Safe Horizon staff organized a special domestic violence shelter tour for Her Royal Highness (HRH) Princess Eugenie of York. There, she met a young child, and was able to see firsthand how our shelters give survivors of abuse and their children the space to heal.
HRH took time to meet with survivors of human trafficking and domestic violence, like Johane. Johane (pictured above, left) is a social worker who called our 24/7 Domestic Violence Hotline after her ex-husband attacked her. She has since become part of our Speakers’ Bureau, where she advocates on behalf of survivors everywhere.
To show her dedication to raising awareness of domestic violence, HRH took the #PutTheNailinIt vow to end to domestic violence where she painted her left ring fingernail purple.
