Domestic Violence
Awareness Month
October may seem far
away but it will be here before we know it. We will be using
our "I'm a survivor, I'm your..." theme again this year. We
are thrilled to once again have the sponsorship of Van Meter
Industrial, Inc. Without their generosity our awareness
efforts would not be possible.
Public Awareness Blitz!
Keep your eyes open for
posters, information cards, bus banners, lamp post banners and movie
screen advertising! Posters are also available as a download
on the right side of this page or if you would like a full-size
version to hang in your place of business we would be happy to
provide one. Simply e-mail
sarabetha@icadv.org.
Faces of the
Iowa Voices Project
Last year ICADV launched the Iowa Voices
Project. Through this project we shared the stories of 31
survivors of domestic violence including their real names and
portraits, with the help of photographer and author Kate Iola.
The stories appeared in newspapers and on websites across the state
reaching more than 600,000 readers.
This year we are moving on to a new
phase of the project focusing on the amazing portraits of these 31
survivors. The exhibit will visit nine Iowa cities and towns
throughout the month of October. Visit the Iowa
Voices Project page for more information on this exciting
project and for updates on the exhibit.
