Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) evolved from the "Day of Unity" held in October 1981 and conceived by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. The intent was to connect advocates across the nation who were working to end violence against women and their children. Today, the entire month of October is devoted to remembering those victims who have died, celebrating those who have survived, and connecting those who work to end violence.
This year, the Domestic Violence Awareness Project (DVAP) wants to help you to build collaborations and inspire action for social change in your community as you work to honor victims and support survivors throughout October and beyond.
