New Survey Results
m.powerment by mark.* funded a national survey to explore attitudes toward and experience with dating abuse and violence among teens and young adults between the ages of 15-22. The survey looked at the role of bystanders who witnessed dating abuse and partner violence with the goal of raising awareness and encouraging dialogue to help end violence against women and girls and to help people transition from bystanders to "upstanders." Initial results were highlighted in Seventeen Magazine's March 2013 issue.
