DVAM 2016: Challenging Perceptions about Domestic Violence

October 1, 2016

Every October, the National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV) joins with our partners, supporters, and allies across the country to recognize Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM).

DVAM is an opportunity for us all to take a stand against domestic violence. We invite you to join us and get involved this month…

Annual #31n31 Campaign: Challenging Perceptions about Domestic Violence

Every year, NNEDV runs this campaign to share information about domestic violence, raise awareness, and ignite change. The name, #31n31, comes from the 31 pieces of information that we share – one for each day of the month of October.

NNEDV’s campaign this year will bust prevalent myths about domestic violence. Follow along on social media using #31n31!

CTAS16-STD

For the fourth time, NNEDV will be partnering with local chefs to recognize DVAM and take a stand to end domestic violence. Chefs Take a Stand is not your average gala: the food is delicious – the attire is comfortable – the speeches are few. Come for the food, stay for the cause, and leave knowing you did your part to help end domestic violence this October. Learn more or buy tickets.
