October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month

The Office of Victim Services and Justice Grants is a proud participant in the “Spread Love DC” campaign which engages young people, community members, and advocates in raising awareness about domestic violence throughout Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM).

Residents are invited to attend events sponsored by local groups throughout the month and participate in Purple Thursday (sign up here) October 18 by wearing purple.

If you or a loved one is a victim/survivor of domestic violence and is seeking assistance or resources, please contact the DC Victim Hotline.

DC Victim Hotline

The DC Victim Hotline is available for all crime victims in the District of Columbia. The hotline number is 844-4-HELP-DC (844-443-5732) and is operational 24/7. The hotline victim assistance staff provides basic crisis-intervention support and helps callers access the complete continuum of care for crime victims, including relevant and appropriate resources based on the needs of the caller.
