stats.
One in three women and one in four men in the United States have experienced some form of physical or sexual violence by an intimate partner in their lifetime. For LGBTQ+ individuals, the rates are even higher. Despite the widespread impact, survivors are often left to navigate dating, safety, and healing on their own. At Medusa, we believe survivors deserve more — more support, more security, and more spaces built with their experiences in mind. That’s why we’ve compiled trauma-informed resources and crisis contacts below, so help is always one tap away.
