Here are some things we should be aware of for Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Image Description: The photo is a diagram in 3 sequenced rows and 3 sequenced columns with informative text about Domestic Violence Awareness Month. The arrow started on the left first top sequence crossed through mirrored S to the last bottom right sequence.

It highlights the history, purpose, and significance of the month, as well as the statistics and efforts to end domestic violence.

The top is labeled as “ Informative Info” under is the Deaf Dawn Logo. There is a line to divide 9 purple squares each containing a text written in black font.

The 1st box: “ Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) evolved from the "Day of Unity".
The 2nd box: “October 1981 conceived by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence”.
The 3rd box: “The intent was to connect advocates across the nation who were working to end violence”.
There are 2 arrows pointing down and to the left that leads to the next informative box.
The 4th box: “Promotes awareness of domestic abuse and healthy relationships and educates”.
Then 5th box: “October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month!”
The 6th says “The third Thursday of October is now nationally known as Purple Thursday”.
Then again 2 arrows pointing down and to the right that leads to the next informative box. The 7th box: “85% of domestic violence victims are women”
The 8th box: “Advocates across the nation are working to end violence against women and their children”.
