The Network to Eliminate Violence in Relationships (NEVR) campaigns to work toward the ultimate goal of eliminating violence in relationships in our community. NEVR will focus on all aspects of relationship violence; physical, sexual, emotional and financial, and its effects on all members of the family and the community. Relationships include intimate partners, adults and seniors & children within families. We will:
• Engage the support and commitment from all stakeholders through education, awareness, advocacy and collaboration.
• Create a forum for the coordination of open and efficient service delivery and public policy. We will establish a resource repository for service providers, community leaders, educators and government bodies.
• Work with the various components of the media to help us deliver the message: “VIOLENCE IN REALTIONSHIPS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED IN OUR COMMUNITY”.
