Justice for black DV survivor in MTA incident
Donation protected
In a devastating turn of events, a woman's desperate attempt to escape her abuser, Christian Valdez, resulted in severe trauma and life-altering injuries. Pushed onto subway tracks in Manhattan, she faced the brutal reality of domestic violence and the harrowing consequences of seeking refuge.
Amidst her physical injuries, her struggle for safety and security continues. She urgently requires permanent accessible housing and future medical expenses. These essential needs are vital steps in her journey towards healing and reclaiming her selfhood.
Her story serves as a poignant reminder of the systemic failures that perpetuate cycles of abuse and leave survivors vulnerable to further harm. It underscores the urgent need for comprehensive support systems and resources to protect and empower survivors on their path to recovery.
As we stand in solidarity with her and survivors everywhere, let us demand justice, advocate for change, and work tirelessly to create a society where love is not synonymous with fear, and every individual has the resources and support to live free from violence and harm.
