Domestic Violence Awareness Month

It's time to talk about Domestic Violence

It’s time to talk about domestic violence.

October is nationally recognized as Domestic Violence Awareness & Prevention Month (DVAM): a time to celebrate survivors, honor those who have died, raise awareness, and commit to preventing intimate partner violence in our community.
This year, local domestic violence-related deaths are on pace to double the number that occurred in 2021. We invite you to join The Center in acknowledging this grim statistic and work alongside us to support survivors and create a safer, more loving community.

Consider the following ways to get involved this October (2022):

Attend Speak Their Names, a memorial event for those who have lost their lives to intimate partner violence.

Join us on Wednesday, October 5 at 12 p.m. at Jefferson Square Park in downtown Louisville.

Visit our calendar for details about other events happening this October.

Volunteer! Individuals or groups can sort and organize donations and supplies, clean and tidy spaces, perform light landscaping around our campus, and serve residents during lunch or dinner times.

Contact brandy.bernauer@cwfempower.org for more info.

Fundraise. Give Week helps keep our services FREE for people impacted by domestic and sexual violence.

Read and share our blog posts about survivors and the impact of intimate partner violence-related disappearances and murders affect communities of color:
