Domestic Violence Awareness Month
2025-10-01 - 2025-10-31 | NC
Every October, InterAct joins a powerful national movement during Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM). It’s a time to honor survivors and raise awareness. What began as a “Day of Unity” in 1981 became an official, month-long observance in 1987. This year, in 2025, we reflect on over three decades of national progress, and the critical work that remains.
More information about special events in support of DVAM 2025 is forthcoming.
Thank you for visiting this event and supporting InterAct.

On Oct. 20, as part of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the Women’s Center invites the campus community to the opening of the Silent Witness Visualization Gallery. This exhibit draws on the history of the national Silent Witness project while centering the lived impact of intimate partner violence in North Carolina. The gallery will feature photographs from last year’s powerful live installation, where community members embodied the stories of those whose lives were taken by intimate partner violence. These images serve as a remembrance and a call to action, urging us to honor the victims, uplift survivors and commit to building safer communities. The exhibit opening will provide space for reflection, dialogue and connection, reminding us that domestic violence is not just a private tragedy but a collective responsibility.

NC State DVAM Purple Thursday
2025-10-23 17:00 - 19:00 | NC State Stafford Commons
NC State DVAM Purple Thursday

What is Purple Thursday?

A National Day:

Purple Thursday is a nationally recognized day during October that asks people to wear purple to raise awareness and show solidarity for those affected by domestic violence.

Origin of the Color:
Purple was chosen to honor the long history of the suffrage movement and the dedication of advocates who wore purple to fight for women’s equal rights, and it continues to symbolize support for survivors.

The Women’s Center hosts events throughout the month of October to raise awareness of the prevalence and impact of domestic violence, and share resources and strategies to support those who have experienced it. It’s important to understand that domestic violence can occur in many different forms, including physical, sexual, emotional, and economic, and it can affect anyone regardless of age, gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, or ability. Because it is often hidden from public view, it can be difficult for a victim/survivor to leave.
Every October, join us for a variety of DVAM events including art exhibits, community gatherings, educational workshops, and/or discussions.
