Change begins with language. The words we use for ourselves, the questions we ask of others, they shape our worldview and our view of ourselves. Every day, I Know Why She Stayed works to change the language people use, so we can make a better, more understanding future.

Leaving isn't always the hardest part. Sometimes surviving is. July 11. The silence ends here. sheismeglobal.com/unmuted
Some women don't stay because they want to. They stay because they can't afford to leave. That's why Unmuted is raising funds for entrepreneurship scholarships and survivor support. Freedom shouldn't depend on a woman's bank account. #Unmuted
Self-care can help to build us up when our self-esteem has been damaged by abuse. One very proven method of self care is creative expression. Creative expression helps release negative emotions such as anger and fear, reduce stress while reminding you of your inner strength.

Share Her Story ~ After an hour and forty-five minutes o investigation and a seven minute interview with her husband, Crystal McRory’s death was declared a suicide. But something didn’t seem right. (1/2)
She didn't lose control of her money. It was taken from her. And now, every time she opens her banking app, her chest tightens. Every bill feels like a threat. Every financial decision feels impossible. That's not weakness. That's what financial trauma does to the nervous system. (1/4)

You don’t know anybody until you live with them, day in and day out. Don’t ask how a survivor didn’t know. Don’t wonder why they didn’t see it coming. Don’t doubt them because their abuser was nice to everyone else they met. Believe survivors.
This looks like it could be helpful for our survivors who are rebuilding. fidelityevents.com/powerofone?c...

Nearly all survivors experience financial abuse, leaving many trapped in dangerous situations with no safe way out. However, domestic abuse steals more than safety. It steals financial stability, dignity, and independence.
Financial abuse, sometimes called economic abuse, is the leading cause of “why she stayed.” Financial abuse is present in 99% of domestic violence cases. . . . . . #financialabuse #economicabuse #iknowwhyshestayed #emotionalabuse #abuseawareness
We’re marching into 2026 with a continuing, unwavering resolve to build preventative and healing materials and resources designed to help women escape abuse and rebuild their lives. To learn how you can help, visit iknowwhyshestayed.org.
