for an important conversation for adults. We will start by watching an award-winning film, Escalation, and follow up with an important discussion about what healthy and unhealthy relationships look like.
We will also talk about and how to activate communities to work to change the statistics around relationship violence. Come learn about the One Love Foundation's work in Maryland and across the country!
RSVP today as space is limited.
One Love was created in 2010 to honor the memory of Yeardley Love, a UVA senior student-athlete who was beaten to death by her ex-boyfriend just weeks before graduation. After her death, Yeardley’s family and friends were shocked to learn the statistics that:
1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men will be in an abusive relationship in their lifetime and young women ages 16-24 are at a 3X greater risk for abuse.
The One Love Foundation starts conversations about healthy and unhealthy relationship behaviors by creating social consequences for abuse and empowering individuals to help themselves and their friends. The organization’s ambitious goal is to provide young people with the tools to create a movement that changes the statistics around relationship violence and ultimately save lives.
