Domestic Violence Awareness Month

In October of each year Domestic Violence Center of Chester County celebrates Domestic Violence Awareness Month signified by a purple ribbon. A symbol of hope and healing, purple is the color of Domestic Violence Awareness. The Domestic Violence Center of Chester County continues its vision to “Paint The Town Purple” every October by tying purple ribbons to lamp posts throughout Chester County communities.

First observed in October 1981 as a national “Day of Unity,” Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) is held each October as a way to unite advocates across the nation in their efforts to end domestic violence. Communities and advocacy organizations across the country  connect with the public and one another throughout the month to raise awareness about the signs of abuse and ways to stop it, and to uplift survivor stories and provide additional resources to leaders and policymakers. Each October the Domestic Violence Center of Chester County engages in several, countywide, grassroots outreach efforts to increase awareness.

The mission of the Domestic Violence Center of Chester County is to reduce, remedy, and prevent domestic violence in Chester County.

WHAT IS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE?

Domestic Violence is defined as a pattern of abusive behavior in any relationship that is used by one partner to gain or maintain power and control over another intimate partner.

Domestic violence can be physical, sexual, emotional, economic, or psychological actions or threats of actions that influence another person. This includes any behaviors that intimidate, manipulate, humiliate, isolate, frighten, terrorize, coerce, threaten, blame, hurt, injure, or wound someone.

If you are a victim in need of services, call our 24/7 hotline at 888-711-6270 to speak with an advocate.
