Domestic Violence Awareness Month is ending, but our work continues. 💜

The month may be coming to a close, but the need for awareness, advocacy, support, and action continues every single day.

Behind every statistic is a real person, a real story, and a life that deserves to be free from fear, control, and abuse. Survivors deserve to be heard, believed, supported, and reminded that they are never alone. 💜

Let’s continue to break the silence, challenge the stigma, educate our communities, and create safe spaces for those who may be suffering in silence. Let’s keep showing up, speaking out, and reminding survivors that they deserve safety, respect, peace, and love—not abuse.

Awareness shouldn’t be limited to one month. Compassion shouldn’t have a calendar. And our commitment to ending domestic violence shouldn’t end when October does.

Standing together for awareness, action, and hope at the 2026 Ohio Domestic Violence Network (ODVN) Press Conference & Award Ceremony today. Hearing powerful testimonies from leaders like Juwana Hall and survivor advocate Lana Hiott reminds us of the urgent work still ahead.
ODVN released its 11th Annual Fatality Report today, revealing 134 lives lost to domestic violence in Ohio this past year (July 2025 – June 2026). These numbers represent real people, families, and communities impacted, reinforcing why our collective advocacy and support systems are so vital.
Congratulations to Senator Susan Manchester and Representative Dontavius Jarrells for receiving the 2026 Croucher Family Award for Outstanding Leadership for their dedicated legislative work on behalf of survivors.
Let’s keep showing up, speaking out, and building safer communities for everyone.
