On Wednesday, October 2, 2024, Miami-Dade County will launch National Domestic Violence Awareness Month with a special event hosted by the Community Action and Human Services Department’s (CAHSD) Violence Prevention and Intervention Division and the Domestic Violence Oversight Board (DVOB). The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the lobby of the Stephen P. Clark Center, located at 111 NW 1st St., Miami, FL 33128.

“As we launch National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we reaffirm our dedication to ending the cycle of violence in our community,” said Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava. “Our commitment to ending domestic violence is unwavering. Together, we can build a future where everyone feels safe, valued, and heard. Let’s work hand in hand to break the silence and create lasting change.”

Since its inception in 1987, National Domestic Violence Awareness Month has united communities across the country in the effort to combat domestic violence. Each year, more than 12 million women and men are victims of intimate partner violence in the U.S., with one in three women and one in four men experiencing physical abuse during their lifetimes. Domestic violence also accounts for 15% of all violent crimes annually, making it a critical public health issue.
