There was a hidden pandemic within the pandemic. Domestic and intimate partner abuse reports skyrocketed, while health care professionals saw an unprecedented spike in injuries consistent with such assaults – and the SAFE Alliance knew that it couldn't just lock its doors and stop providing those essential, often life-saving services. It pivoted to online when it could, but made sure that those vital havens like its housing programs and the Eloise House sexual assault clinic kept their doors open for abuse survivors, but closed to COVID.
