Past  Campaigns: The movement to end domestic violence is an ongoing effort that has been illustrated in many ways throughout the years. To recognize and understand domestic violence you have to be aware of the issue at hand. Our campaigns are not just for victims, but for bystanders including friends, family members and co-workers. Here are a few of the past campaigns:

DVAM 2005 & 2006: It's Closer Than You Think
The campaign for 2005 and 2006 used imagery of every day people i.e. "Friend," "Student," "Executive," to illustrate that domestic violence can and does happen to people of all ages, ethnicities, lifestyles and social classes. Domestic violence happens to people we know. Bystanders were again encouraged to educate themselves to better understand the warning signs of abuse and get involved to help someone they may suspect is in an abusive situation.
