As part of Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM), we held our virtual briefing on October 31, 2022 to hear from researchers, health professionals, and advocates on the impact of domestic and sexual violence on reproductive health and discuss bipartisan policy solutions to support survivors. Health care providers play a critical role in decreasing risk for unplanned pregnancy and supporting pregnant people that may have been sexually, physically, or emotionally abused.
