Domestic violence prevention in Massachusetts
 

Domestic violence is a silent epidemic that affects our entire society - regardless of race, education, or socio-economic level.  To help combat this serious issue, Verizon works in partnership with nonprofits - including many here in the Bay State - to prevent domestic violence and to help thousands of victims.

Visit the Verizon Foundation website for more information about our Domestic Violence awareness and prevention programs.
