Domestic violence
awareness month
Every October, we join survivors, allies, community partners, and other advocates across the nation to recognize Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Domestic Violence Awareness Month is a time to bring attention to the issue of domestic violence and relationship abuse. This is a time to honor those whose lives have been lost because of domestic violence and celebrate those who have survived. Join us and take a stand against domestic violence.
