More than 100 Michigan residents were killed by domestic violence in 2022. Domestic violence crimes account for almost 40 percent of police calls. One in three women and one in four men have been physically abused by an intimate partner: exposing millions of children to domestic violence with trauma.
The Butterfly Collective was founded by a group of women who are survivors or have been impacted by domestic violence. No other organization in Michigan provides this type of support.
ABOUT THE BUTTERFLY COLLECTIVE – Survivors of domestic violence often struggle to get on their feet after leaving an abusive relationship, and The Butterfly Collective is there to provide them with a range of support, based on their needs, but is solely based on donations. Based in Shelby Township, the Butterfly Collective’s assistance also shows survivors they are not alone – a key to helping heal from trauma and rebuild their lives.
