Thank you to everyone who helped DCFNE reach our year-end giving goal! We are truly grateful to be part of a community that is willing to show up for survivors of violence.

Because of your generosity, we are better equipped to give our patients the compassionate care they deserve in 2026.

Stalking is more common than many people realize—and it rarely exists in isolation. It is often linked to sexual violence and intimate partner violence, increasing risk and limiting a survivor’s sense of safety and control.

For survivors who have experienced violence as a result of stalking, a forensic exam from DCFNE can help them regain a sense of agency by making informed choices about their health. Survivors are also offered the support of an advocate, who can help them think through safety planning and next steps.

If you have experienced stalking, support is available. Call the DC Victim Hotline at 844-443-5732 to learn about your options.

We closed out the year with some much-needed joy at the DCFNE Holiday Party. From our very own Olympic Games to the annual Saran Ball Challenge and gift exchange, our team enjoyed the friendly competition and time to reconnect. Moments like these help us recharge so we can continue giving our all to the survivors we support.

Today on Human Rights Day, we affirm a simple truth: everyone has the right to live free from violence. Sexual assault and domestic violence are human rights violations, and every survivor deserves safety, dignity, and compassionate care.

At DCFNE, our nurses provide free, confidential forensic exams 24/7, so that survivors of violence can reclaim their rights and their voices. Learn more about the work we do by visiting www.dcfne.org!

We’re 61% of the way to our $2,500 year-end goal!

Every dollar helps ensure survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence can access free, compassionate forensic nursing care any time, day or night.

As the only provider of adult forensic exams in D.C., we care for nearly 900 survivors each year. Your gift keeps our doors open 24/7 and supports the nurses who do this important work.

Help us close the gap before December 31. Link in bio to donate!

It takes a special person to give their time to support survivors!

DCFNE is so grateful to our volunteers, who help spread the word about the free, confidential care our nurses provide. Every conversation they have and every flyer they hand out means one more person knows where to turn for help.

Drop a word of thanks in the comments to celebrate our incredible volunteers on International Volunteer Day!
