October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
It couldn’t come at a more urgent time, given the dramatic surge in domestic violence during the COVID-19 pandemic. Greater awareness and collective action are critical to stop and prevent the abuse that is killing someone EVERY FIVE DAYS IN WISCONSIN, according to the most recent Domestic Homicide Report released last week by the Wisconsin Coalition Against Domestic Violence. EVERY. FIVE. DAYS.
That’s why we all need to join in with the No More chapters around the world in launching the Join the Chorus campaign during October. Everyone — leaders, communities, bystanders — must lend their voice to say No More!
Fond du Lac Says No More is in the third year of community wide efforts, led by the FDL Area Women’s Fund to take a united stand as a community:
- NO MORE silence.
- NO MORE silent bystanders.
- NO MORE violence.
- TOGETHER WE CAN END DOMESTIC VIOLENCE & SEXUAL ASSAULT.
SSM Agnesian DV and Solutions Center DV are the service providers in Fond du Lac.
- PAVE is the service provider for Beaver Dam.
- FRIENDS is the service provider in West Bend.
- Christine Ann is the service provider for Green Lake.
