DV Counts Day is September 6, 2023
Domestic Violence Programs in New York State will join domestic violence programs across the US in participating in the National DV Counts Day on September 6, 2023, organized by the National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV.) This is a one-day, unduplicated count of adults and children seeking domestic violence services in the United States. This annual survey documents the number of people who sought services in a single 24-hour period, as well as the types of services requested, the number of service requests that went unmet due to a lack of resources, and the issues and barriers domestic violence programs face in providing services to victims.
Each year, the Domestic Violence Counts Report summarizes this data and is instrumental in raising awareness about domestic violence and the incredible work local domestic violence programs do daily, providing lifesaving services to survivors and their families. Year after year, state, territorial, and local advocates, national experts, journalists and reporters, and policymakers rely on the report to understand the realities advocates and survivors face.
