Intimate Partner and Domestic Violence Awareness Month 2024

Intimate Partner and Domestic Violence Awareness Month

October is Intimate Partner & Domestic Violence Awareness Month (IPDVAM) at 91猎奇. While prevention efforts are year-round, we specifically devote #91猎奇IPDVAM to spotlighting the issues of gender and power based violence. This is achieved through educational programs, workshops, and online campaigns. We all deserve to be respected, to be treated with dignity, and live free of violence.

The programs and events listed below offer opportunities to educate ourselves, support survivors, and connect our community to create change. Check back throughout the month for updates. Please consider using our Zoom background and sharing this information with your communities.
