Take Action

Raise Awareness and Get Involved during DVAM 2016

January 13, 2016

October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM). Domestic violence thrives when we are silent, but if we take a stand and work together, we can end domestic violence.

Throughout October, help the National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV) raise awareness about domestic violence and join in our efforts to end violence. Here is what you can do:

  • Make a donation to NNEDV in honor of the people in your life who have been impacted by domestic violence.
  • Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to view and share our #31n31 content for the month of October. (Follow along using #31n31!)
  • Wear purple (the color of domestic violence awareness) during the month of October. Use this as a way to tell others why ending domestic violence is important to you.
  • Participate in the Week of Action, October 14-20, 2018!
  • Join NNEDV’s book club, Reader with a Cause. Many of today’s most popular books raise issues that are connected to domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking — creating the perfect opportunity to discuss the importance of these issues with our friends, families, and coworkers.
