Every year, approximately 1.5 million high school students nationwide experience physical abuse from a dating partner. It is also known that 3 in 4 parents have never talked to their children about domestic violence. In light of these alarming facts, every year during the month of February, the National Resource Center on Domestic Violence joins efforts with partner organizations to elevate teen voices, raise awareness about dating violence, highlight promising practices, and encourage communities to get involved.
This February, the Domestic Violence Awareness Project of the National Resource Center on Domestic Violence lends our voice and support to focus attention to young activists working to prevent and address gender-based violence and advance social justice.
