💜 October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. 💜
Today marks the beginning of a month dedicated to raising awareness, honoring survivors, remembering those whose lives have been lost, and reminding our community that domestic violence is happening every single day.
The statistics are staggering. More than 1 in 3 women and 1 in 6 men in the United States have experienced sexual violence, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime.
But these aren't just numbers. These are our family members, friends, coworkers, neighbors, and people in our communities.
The truth is, each of us likely knows someone who has experienced or is currently experiencing domestic violence even if we don't know their story.
This month, we encourage you to SPEAK UP. EDUCATE YOURSELF. SUPPORT SURVIVORS. SHARE RESOURCES. 💜
And if you are a survivor, know that your story matters, your voice matters, and you are not alone.
📣 Our Beyond the Mask Domestic Violence Conference is also coming up October 8–9, bringing our community together for education, awareness, conversation, and action.
Help us start Domestic Violence Awareness Month by sharing this post. You never know who on your timeline may need to see it today.
💜 Share for a survivor.
💜 Share for someone who hasn't found their voice yet.
💜 Share because awareness can help save lives.
