Gun Violence Fact Sheet

The National Center on Gun Violence in Relationships works to prevent domestic violence-related homicides involving firearms. 

We work with communities to identify the root causes of violence and develop victim-centered intervention strategies that create lasting change.

This fact sheet highlights the scope of the problem of firearm-facilitated domestic violence and the work of the Center to address it.
