What We Do to Help End Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse
At AWARE. Inc., we provide comprehensive intervention and prevention, outreach and education regarding domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse.
What is Domestic Violence/Abuse?Abuse in a relationship refers to physical, emotional, or sexual abuse by an abuser towards their partner that is designed to control another human being through the use of fear, humiliation, and verbal or physical assaults. Examples of abuse include:
- name-calling or put-downs
- keeping a partner from contacting family or friends
- withholding money
- stalking
- intimidation
- actual or threatened physical harm
- sexual assault

May 6 & 7: Girl Rising Screening
Fact: Girls across the globe face barriers to education that boys simply do not. Sixty-six million are currently out of school; 150 million are sexually assaulted each year; and in the past 30 seconds, about 13 were forced into arranged marriages.
Statistics like these inspired the new film Girl Rising a documentary-narrative hybrid about nine extraordinary girls from around the world--and the opportunities afforded them by education. The film equivalent of a short-story collection, each segment stars a real girl acting out an episode from her own life.
The scripts were written by novelists from the girls’ home countries (Cambodia, Afghanistan, Peru and more) and then narrated by actresses like Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway and Kerry Washington.
There will be two showings in Juneau at the Goldtown Nickelodeon on May 6 & 7 at 7pm. Ticket reservations are required before attending the film. Must reserve by April 24. Click on the links below to reserve your seat!!
