Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) Awareness, Empowerment and Memorial Vigil

Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) is a national campaign dedicated to raising awareness about domestic violence. Every October, organizations and individuals unite across the country for a national effort to uplift the needs, voices, and experiences of survivors. This event focuses on community gathering, sharing resources, and creative arts of expression. There will be a special remembrance dedicated to lives lost to domestic violence in DC within the last year. Participants will honor their memories with a vigil and moment of silence. Candles representing each victim will be lit.
