Unite Against Domestic Violence!

Today marks the start of Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM)! As we embark on this month-long journey, we're reminded of the strength that comes from uniting to address a critical issue that affects countless lives.


#Every1KnowsSome1 impacted by domestic violence, and everyone has a role to play in preventing domestic violence and supporting survivors. Here's how you can make an impact during DVAM:


  • Social Media Campaign: Engage with us on social media using the hashtag #Every1KnowsSome1 as we share stories, resources, and messages of hope, spreading the word and creating a united front against domestic violence.


  • Purple Thursday: On Thursday, October 17, wear purple to show your support of domestic violence survivors and your commitment to ending abuse! Take a selfie in your purple and share it on social media with #PurpleThursday #DVAM #Every1KnowsSome.


  • GiveForDV: Visit our give for DV page to make a gift to NYSCADV, or donate to your local DV program, on the official GiveForDV Day of Giving on Thursday, October 24. Or sign up for your own fundraiser to encourage friends and family to support survivors all month! Every gift makes a difference for survivors as they rebuild their lives free from abuse.


Thank you for being a part of this movement and for standing up against domestic violence. By raising awareness, sharing stories, and supporting survivors, we're making real progress toward safer communities for everyone.
