Meaco Konnect Supports
Domestic Violence Awareness Month

Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) was launched nationwide in October 1987 as a way to connect and unite individuals and organizations working on domestic violence issues while raising awareness for those issues.

Clear rules are needed to address domestic violence.

Domestic violence is an epidemic affecting individuals in every community, regardless of age, economic status, sexual orientation, gender, race, religion, or nationality. Understanding what domestic violence is and the many ways it can show up in relationships is the first step to creating a culture that has zero tolerance for domestic violence. After all, how can you change what you can’t understand?

#

1 Stay engaged on policy issues important to you

#

Keep it up for zero tolerance

Educate and share

What Meaco Konnect is doing today to create a culture that is #NotSilent about domestic violence

Every six seconds a woman in the U.S. is hit, sexually assaulted, stalked and held against her will. The Covid-19 epidemic has contributed to an enormous increase of domestic violence leaving women and children more vulnerable,”

– Carlos Rodriguez, CEO of Total Protection Consultants.
