Domestic violence awareness month in Canada is November. Every minute, every day, someone experiences domestic violence. As domestic violence rises, we at Silence the Violence and shun the guns believes awareness must be raised on two months instead of only November. Instead of extending domestic violence into December, although domestic violence increases during the holiday season, we are proposing adding the month of May. This way, special awareness for domestic violence would be every six months. As people may forget the importance of taking grassroots collective action in the month of November, in addition they will be reminded every six months. If you support our efforts to amplify domestic violence awareness on two months annually, sign the petition, share in person, online and on social media.
