National Crime Prevention & Domestic Violence Awareness Month

Sep 26, 2023


Domestic Violence Awareness Month is designed to unify women and men all across the world who have been victims of domestic violence.

It is important to recognize that domestic violence impacts millions of people, and it’s not only women who are victims. Many men suffer domestic violence as well.

It is a problem across every status, culture, religion, and race. There are many different forms of domestic violence, which is why raising awareness is so critical.

Types of abuse that we need to recognize:

  • Sexual & Physical Abuse
  • Emotional & Verbal Abuse
  • Financial Abuse
