Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) is a national campaign dedicated to raising awareness about domestic violence. Domestic violence is not always easy to spot. It doesn’t always come with bruises or a black eye. Victims may not always be in imminent danger, but rather feel controlled or uncomfortable, be forced into doing something they don’t want to or be intimidated by their partner, all signs of abuse. If you know someone who is being abused, check out the link for next step guides: I Know Someone Who Is Being Abused, What Should I Do?

El Mes de Concientización sobre la Violencia Doméstica (DVAM, por sus siglas en inglés) es una campaña nacional dedicada a crear conciencia sobre la violencia doméstica. La violencia doméstica no siempre es fácil de detectar; no siempre se manifiesta con moretones o un ojo morado. Es posible que las víctimas no siempre corran un peligro inminente, pero sí pueden sentirse controladas o incómodas, ser obligadas a hacer algo que no desean o sentirse intimidadas por su pareja; todas estas son señales de abuso. Si conoces a alguien que está sufriendo abusos, consulta el siguiente enlace para obtener una guía sobre los pasos a seguir: «Conozco a alguien que sufre abusos: ¿qué debo hacer?».
