He called her names when they argued, chipping away at her confidence.

As he spoke on the phone, blood seeped into the fabric of her clothes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the officers arrived, they separated and interviewed both. He showed them scratches on his face, and she was labeled the “primary aggressor.” Despite her injuries, Brooks was arrested and taken into custody. She was only released when her husband arrived to take her home. She was a Black woman. He was a white man.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Black and brown communities, survivors of domestic violence often face layered barriers to seeking help — from mistrust of law enforcement to fear of criminalization and cultural stigma. Across the Bay Area, advocates are offering non-carceral alternatives, meeting survivors where they are with trauma-informed care, culturally sensitive support and paths to healing that don’t rely on police or punitive systems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12053052\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1999px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12053052\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/250730-DVProjectBlackCommunity-01_qed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1999\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/250730-DVProjectBlackCommunity-01_qed.jpg 1999w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/250730-DVProjectBlackCommunity-01_qed-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/250730-DVProjectBlackCommunity-01_qed-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1999px) 100vw, 1999px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cat Brooks stands outside of the Anti Police Terror Project offices in Oakland on July 30, 2025. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month — a time to center survivors’ voices and highlight the advocates and organizations building safer, more responsive communities. Across the Bay Area, that work continues year-round, led by people who believe healing and accountability can exist outside punishment and shame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey from 2016 and 2017, 53.6% of Black women and 57.6% of Black men in the state reported experiencing some form of violence or stalking by an intimate partner. The actual number may be much higher due to underreporting, organizers said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When survivors feel unsafe reaching out to law enforcement or social workers, it often means choosing between the “lesser of two evils,” Brooks, a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/tag/cat-brooks\">prominent \u003c/a>community \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/cat-brooks\">activist\u003c/a> who was 18 at the time of her marriage, said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The stories are repeatedly the same,” she said. Survivors she’s spoken with say, “I don’t call the police, because I don’t want to go to jail. I don’t call the cops because I don’t want them to kill my partner. I don’t call the police, because I don’t want to lose my children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We know we can’t rely on police or prisons to keep us safe,” Brooks continued, adding that most of the survivors she’s spoken with are just looking for ways to stop the violence.[aside postID=news_12053210 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/IMG_1137-2000x1500.jpg']Paméla Michelle Tate, executive director of the San Francisco nonprofit Black Women Revolt Against Domestic Violence, said many clients hesitate to share their experiences because their mistrust of the system is greater than their fear of the abuser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Survivors fear that reporting partners or family members to police or social services could lead to their own arrest, Tate said, with some risking criminalization by the very systems meant to help them. They may also be concerned about what law enforcement could do to their partner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The situation becomes more complicated when survivors rely on their abusers for financial support or when children are involved, she noted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lois Corrin was 36 and heavily pregnant with her daughter when her husband abandoned her. After going into preterm labor and enduring a difficult birth, she was bedridden for months in their Piedmont home, barely able to fend for herself. Her family and friends lived across the country, and she stayed silent, hoping her marriage would survive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When her husband returned, the situation worsened. The house where Corrin was raising her daughter was in shambles — mold grew on the walls, the roof leaked — and he refused to help while she cared for their child. She had nowhere else to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now 71, Corrin said it took her a long time to realize her husband’s behavior was abusive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12053782\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12053782 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/WomanClaspsHandsGetty.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/WomanClaspsHandsGetty.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/WomanClaspsHandsGetty-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/WomanClaspsHandsGetty-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Many clients hesitate to share their experiences because their mistrust of the system is greater than their fear of the abuser. \u003ccite>(Jacob Wackerhausen/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“I made a decision not to make it public because I was hoping that the relationship could continue and go back to what it originally was,” she said. “That’s not what happened. I just kept it to myself, and eventually people realized he wasn’t there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was financial abuse, Corrin said, but she didn’t know whom she could trust without risking herself or her child. Economic abuse is a form of domestic violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Traditional social service providers are mandated reporters, legally obligated to report any child endangerment, Tate said. If a survivor reports domestic violence and children were present to witness the abuse, there’s a chance the children could be removed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead of taking the risk, some survivors would choose to stay silent, hoping the abuse would stop or the person causing harm would leave, she said. Fear of social ostracization and judgment from the community also discourages survivors from seeking help, Tate said. Although awareness of domestic violence has grown, pressure remains for those living through abuse to keep their experiences quiet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Tate, some survivors are discouraged from sharing what is considered a personal matter with neighbors and family outside the home, adhering to a “no snitch rule,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tunisia Owens, a policy expert and organizer in Oakland, said it can be difficult for survivors to speak out if they feel their community won’t support them. She pointed to church leaders who encourage women to submit to their husbands or reject divorce, which can isolate survivors. Owens also noted that Black men experiencing domestic violence often stay silent out of fear and shame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People are oftentimes reluctant to get out of relationships that are abusive or violent because they have been conditioned to believe that you have to stay till death do us part,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>An alternative approach\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In the Bay Area, several nonprofit organizations are offering survivors non-carceral alternatives to address domestic violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Colzaria Henderson, executive director of the San José-based nonprofit Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence, said the organization operates entirely outside of “the system.” Next Door Solutions does not provide information to law enforcement or child welfare agencies, and its staff are not mandated reporters, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Next Door Solutions is an option for folks that do not want to call law enforcement,” Henderson said. “Most of the survivors we serve are in Black and brown communities, communities of color. They can receive services and safety planning, and we can even help them get a restraining order outside of the criminal justice system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12017718\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12017718 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/DomesticViolenceGetty.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1332\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/DomesticViolenceGetty.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/DomesticViolenceGetty-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/DomesticViolenceGetty-1020x679.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/DomesticViolenceGetty-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/DomesticViolenceGetty-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/DomesticViolenceGetty-1920x1279.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">“Systems aren’t always built for Black and brown folks.

With employees serving as domestic violence counselors and lawyers, attorney-client privilege protects survivors’ privacy, barring the organization from disclosing information without their consent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Owens, policy and advocacy manager at the Family Violence Law Center, said the center also works to educate young people on healthy relationships and the causes of domestic violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Research on adverse childhood experiences shows that children who face early trauma, such as abuse at home, are 80% more likely to experience future abuse and 60% more likely to cause harm, Owens said. Teaching young people to process emotions through open communication and healing is key to stopping cycles of violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The importance of modeling appropriate behaviors and conflict resolution and healthy relationships for young people is so that they can replicate that and spread the word,” she said. “There are things that we have to normalize like consent, having conversations, asking for permission, seeing each other as equals.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jordan Thierry, a filmmaker and consultant for the Alliance for Boys and Men of Color, said entrenched patriarchal norms can also perpetuate violence in Black communities and homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of the messaging [young Black men and boys] are being fed is that you have to subjugate others,” Thierry said. “We’re really trying to broaden their perspective and their notion of what it means to be a man.

Brooks said there is never justification for abuse, but she noted there should also be more avenues for people of color to process their pain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s not my enemy,” she said, referring to her second husband. “I’m talking to both survivors of harm and causers of harm. You have nothing to be ashamed of. The mandate is that you get help for yourself, that you interrupt the cycle of violence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of addressing the issue of domestic violence in Black communities and families, Thierry said, involves understanding the historical context and the specific traumas and systemic barriers that Black men, boys and women have faced — and continue to navigate today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For the last few generations of my family, there has been state violence, the violence of poverty,” he said. “Whenever we’re talking about intimate partner violence that is happening in Black communities, it’s important to acknowledge the historic role that our systems have had in perpetrating harm.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Moving forward\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>While the domestic violence charges against Brooks were eventually dropped, the trauma and shame lingered for years.

In 2010, she co-founded the Anti Police-Terror Project to address police violence in Black communities.

They may also be concerned about what law enforcement could do to their partner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The situation becomes more complicated when survivors rely on their abusers for financial support or when children are involved, she noted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lois Corrin was 36 and heavily pregnant with her daughter when her husband abandoned her. After going into preterm labor and enduring a difficult birth, she was bedridden for months in their Piedmont home, barely able to fend for herself. Her family and friends lived across the country, and she stayed silent, hoping her marriage would survive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When her husband returned, the situation worsened. The house where Corrin was raising her daughter was in shambles — mold grew on the walls, the roof leaked — and he refused to help while she cared for their child. She had nowhere else to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now 71, Corrin said it took her a long time to realize her husband’s behavior was abusive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12053782\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12053782 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/WomanClaspsHandsGetty.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/WomanClaspsHandsGetty.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/WomanClaspsHandsGetty-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/WomanClaspsHandsGetty-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Many clients hesitate to share their experiences because their mistrust of the system is greater than their fear of the abuser. \u003ccite>(Jacob Wackerhausen/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“I made a decision not to make it public because I was hoping that the relationship could continue and go back to what it originally was,” she said. “That’s not what happened. I just kept it to myself, and eventually people realized he wasn’t there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was financial abuse, Corrin said, but she didn’t know whom she could trust without risking herself or her child. Economic abuse is a form of domestic violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Traditional social service providers are mandated reporters, legally obligated to report any child endangerment, Tate said. If a survivor reports domestic violence and children were present to witness the abuse, there’s a chance the children could be removed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead of taking the risk, some survivors would choose to stay silent, hoping the abuse would stop or the person causing harm would leave, she said. Fear of social ostracization and judgment from the community also discourages survivors from seeking help, Tate said. Although awareness of domestic violence has grown, pressure remains for those living through abuse to keep their experiences quiet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Tate, some survivors are discouraged from sharing what is considered a personal matter with neighbors and family outside the home, adhering to a “no snitch rule,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tunisia Owens, a policy expert and organizer in Oakland, said it can be difficult for survivors to speak out if they feel their community won’t support them. She pointed to church leaders who encourage women to submit to their husbands or reject divorce, which can isolate survivors. Owens also noted that Black men experiencing domestic violence often stay silent out of fear and shame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People are oftentimes reluctant to get out of relationships that are abusive or violent because they have been conditioned to believe that you have to stay till death do us part,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>An alternative approach\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In the Bay Area, several nonprofit organizations are offering survivors non-carceral alternatives to address domestic violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Colzaria Henderson, executive director of the San José-based nonprofit Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence, said the organization operates entirely outside of “the system.” Next Door Solutions does not provide information to law enforcement or child welfare agencies, and its staff are not mandated reporters, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Next Door Solutions is an option for folks that do not want to call law enforcement,” Henderson said. “Most of the survivors we serve are in Black and brown communities, communities of color. They can receive services and safety planning, and we can even help them get a restraining order outside of the criminal justice system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12017718\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12017718 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/DomesticViolenceGetty.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1332\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/DomesticViolenceGetty.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/DomesticViolenceGetty-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/DomesticViolenceGetty-1020x679.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/DomesticViolenceGetty-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/DomesticViolenceGetty-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/DomesticViolenceGetty-1920x1279.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">“Systems aren’t always built for Black and brown folks.
