Anna Kendrick Shared This Woman’s Viral “Safety” Tips, And It’s So Important

While it’s infuriating for women even to have to keep these safety tips in their back pocket, to have a movie created about a serial killer who targeted women and girls, or for Anna even to experience an abusive long-term relationship in the first place, I hope the above tips provide some help even a little bit for you or a loved one.

If you or someone you know has experienced sexual assault, you can call the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-4673 (HOPE), which routes the caller to their nearest sexual assault service provider. You can also search for your local center here. 

If you or someone you know is in immediate danger as a result of domestic violence, call 911. For anonymous, confidential help, you can call the 24/7 National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 (SAFE) or chat with an advocate via the website.

Dial 988 in the US to reach the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. Other international suicide helplines can be found at befrienders.org. The Trevor Project, which provides help and suicide-prevention resources for LGBTQ youth, is 1-866-488-7386.
