October is Domestic Violence Awareness and Prevention Month (DVAPM). Congress designated October DVAPM in 1989 to raise awareness of this important issue affecting millions of people. In fact, 1 in 3 women, 1 in 4 men, and 1 in 2 trans and non-binary individuals experience domestic violence at some point in their lifetime.
