Domestic Violence Awareness Month
In October 1981, a national "Day of Unity" began to unite advocates working to end domestic violence. The Day of Unity grew into a national movement that is now celebrated throughout October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
The Domestic Violence Awareness Month 2024 theme is "Heal, Hold, & Center." Working together, we must embrace the different ways we can heal from violence, commit to holding safe space for survivors, and center those most marginalized in our efforts to end domestic violence. |
