The North American Division recognizes that women and children, as well as men, are victims of abuse. God abhors abuse of EVERY kind. We're working to create safe churches through awareness, education, and training. 
Help Us enditnow

End It Now® North America is an initiative of the Seventh-day Adventist Church dedicated to raising awareness and equipping individuals and communities to prevent and respond to abuse in all its forms. Through education, resources, and faith-based advocacy, End It Now works to shine a light on issues such as domestic violence, sexual abuse, and child abuse—empowering people to recognize warning signs, support survivors, and take meaningful action.

​

Operating across the United States and Canada, End It Now North America partners with churches, leaders, and organizations to foster safe environments and promote a culture of accountability, compassion, and prevention. Its mission is simple yet urgent: to end abuse by breaking the silence, addressing stigma, and mobilizing communities to be part of the solution.

THE HARD TRUTH

1 in 3 girls and 1 in 5 boys will be sexually abused before they turn 18.

More than 12 million women and men are victims of rape, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner each year.

Victims and their families are acquainted with the abuser in more than 90 percent of cases.

Nearly 70% of abuse victims turn to their faith community first when asking for help.
