Purple Thursday for Domestic Violence Awareness Month
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. 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. The Patricia A Tomson Center for Violence Prevention at UNI is supporting this campaign on campus.
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.
We encourage everyone in our campus community to get involved and support the campaign during Domestic Violence Awareness Month. On Thursday, October 17, wear purple and snap a picture to show your support for domestic violence survivors and your commitment to ending abuse. Use the tags #Every1KnowsSome1 #DVAM
