Additional information

The Domestic and Gender-Based Violence Prevention Initiative (DGBVPI) develops and provides accessible, safe, and relevant strategies and resources to prevent and respond to domestic violence in Cambridge. Services include training, consultation, building collaborations across various sectors in Cambridge, and coordination of systems of change in order to ensure compassionate and supportive environments for survivors of domestic and gender-based violence across the city.

Special Announcement:

The city of Cambridge is hoping to hear from survivors of color about their experience with violence, local resources, and ways to better serve your community.  We'd like to pass this opportunity along to you to have your voice heard.  Your participation is a great help to the city. Please take this survey if you are a person of color in Cambridge. Your input will help create a safer Cambridge and provide support for survivors.

A link to the survey can be found here. You can choose your language and decide to take it online or print out a copy and drop it off at a drop box at the main Cambridge Public Library location. Arabic and Bengali translations of the survey are only available in print version and can be dropped off at the library after completion. If you have any follow-up questions please reach out.

You can also use the QR code to access a copy of the survey online by using the QR attached to the top of this page. The survey will close on May 27th, 2022.

Thank you for your assistance!
