Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) is

held throughout the month of October as a way to

bring advocates across the nation together to end

domestic violence.

Communities and advocacy organizations across the

country will connect with one another in a true sense

of unity to end domestic violence for good. DVAM is

a chance for anyone and everyone – victims, survivors,

advocates, supporters, and political leaders – to unite

in our work to end domestic violence.

This is a time of solidarity and support, and a time for

victims and survivors to share their stories. (NVAM, 2019.)
