Shine a Light on Domestic Violence

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month in New York State and the entire nation. Domestic Violence is defined as a pattern of behaviors used by one partner to maintain power and control over another partner in an intimate relationship. According to national statistics, on average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States. During one year, this equates to more than 10 million women and men. On a typical day, there are more than 20,000 phone calls placed to domestic violence hotlines nationwide.

When it comes to Domestic Violence, it is important to remember that you are not alone and help is available. Being aware of the problem is the first step to doing something about it. It's likely that someone you know has been, or will be, a victim of domestic violence. Domestic violence affects all of us – women, men, and children. Take a stand against domestic violence.

The New York State Office for Prevention of Domestic Violence (OPDV) has been turning the State purple since 2008, to shine the light on domestic violence. The campaign connects communities across New York by turning state buildings and offices purple during the month of October.
