Domestic Violence

If you are a victim of domestic violence, Victims and Citizens Services is here to help you understand your rights and the protections that North Carolina law affords you. We can also help you learn where to go for shelter and support in your community. Our Address Confidentiality Program can help by allowing victims to keep their new address safe from possible or former abusers.

Domestic violence is against the law in North Carolina (N.C. General Statutes 50B). Victims of domestic violence have the right to take legal action to end the abuse.

Victims and Citizens Services works to educate the public about domestic violence and the laws against it. We assist in developing legislation and policies aimed at preventing domestic violence and at protecting its victims.
