(BPRW) NNEDV Launches #Every1KnowsSome1 Campaign for Domestic Violence Awareness Month 2024
(Tech Zone Daily) Washington, DC – The National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV) is proud to launch the fourth year of the national #Every1KnowsSome1 campaign in observance of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Co-created with the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence, this collaborative effort aims to shed light on the pervasive issue of domestic violence and empower people to come together as communities to address this epidemic.
Domestic Violence Awareness Month, held annually in October, allows communities nationwide to join forces to raise awareness about the far-reaching impact of domestic violence. The #Every1KnowsSome1 campaign focuses on the theme that everyone knows someone affected by domestic violence, whether they realize it or not.
One in three women, one in four men, and nearly half of LGBTQ+ people will experience domestic violence in their lifetime. High rates of domestic violence are not private, individual problems; they require community solutions. By acknowledging this reality, we can collectively work towards ending domestic violence and creating safe, healthy communities for everyone.
“Each year, I am proud to see our movement brought together by Domestic Violence Awareness Month and our shared vision for a safer world,” said Stephanie Love-Patterson, NNEDV CEO & President. “Everyone knows someone impacted by domestic violence—a friend, a family member, a coworker, or maybe even ourselves. We all have a role to play in addressing and ending it.”
Through a series of events and activities throughout the month, NNEDV seeks to engage community members in an open dialogue about domestic violence, its underlying causes, and how to support survivors. We encourage everyone in the community to get involved and support the campaign during Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Some key highlights of the campaign include:
Social Media Campaign: Check out our toolkit (available in both English and Spanish) and engage with us on social media using the hashtag #Every1KnowsSome1 as we share stories, resources, and messages of hope.
Purple Thursday: On Thursday, October 17, wear purple and snap a picture to show your support for domestic violence survivors and your commitment to ending abuse.
GiveForDV: Visit GiveForDV.NNEDV.org/Organizations/NNEDV to make a gift now or on the official DVAM Day of Giving on Thursday, October 24. Every gift makes a difference for survivors as they rebuild their lives free from abuse.
Throughout October, NNEDV aims to unite our community, encourage open conversations, and create a supportive environment where survivors can find hope and healing. For more information on the #Every1KnowsSome1 campaign, please visit GiveForDV.NNEDV.org.
