Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) is observed every October and it aims to raise awareness about the widespread issue of domestic violence, educate our communities on prevention, and support survivors. During this month, El Programa Hispano will be dedicated to honoring those affected by DV, promote resources, and encouraging action to end the cycle of violence. We will also host various events throughout October to bring awareness to our communities, empower individuals to stand against domestic violence, and to raise funds to continue our work.
