Domestic violence impacts women, men and children of every age, background and belief. Throughout the month of October — Domestic Violence Awareness Month — let's mourn those who have died because of domestic violence, celebrate those who have survived and connect those who work to end violence. Here is what you can do: Volunteer your time with yourstate coalition or local program. Wear purple, the color of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and use this as a way to tell others why ending domestic violence is important to you.
