Today, 25 years ago, The Hotline answered its very first call.

Today marks an important moment in the history of the movement for survivors of relationship abuse and the National Domestic Violence Hotline (The Hotline). 25 years ago, on February 21, 1996, The Hotline answered its very first call.

This significant milestone is not a celebration. However, the courage of survivors is something to celebrate. We are honored to bear witness to the strength and bravery of survivors every single day.

Thank you for your continuous support to help us serve survivors of domestic violence. Hope is on the line every day at The Hotline.
