Join us in recognizing Victims of Violence Wholly Day and standing against all forms of violence. Together, we can make a difference.
On April 4, we come together to honor and support those who have been victims of violence on Victims of Violence Wholly Day. This day was created in 1981 by the National Organization for Victim Assistance as a way to raise awareness and show solidarity for those who have suffered from various forms of violence. It's also a day to recognize the importance of providing resources and support for victims and their loved ones. Let's use this day as an opportunity to spread love, kindness, and support towards all those affected by violence.
Gather with friends and family to remember and honor victims of violence. This can be in the form of a candlelight vigil, a moment of silence, or sharing memories and stories about those who have been affected by violence.
Make a donation to an organization that supports victims of violence. This can be in the form of money, supplies, or time volunteering at the organization.
Use your social media platforms to raise awareness about the issue of violence and its impact on victims. Share statistics, personal stories, and resources for support.
Check with your local community center or organizations to see if there are any events or workshops being held to educate and raise awareness about violence and its impact on victims.
Art can be a powerful way to express emotions and process difficult experiences. Consider creating a piece of art, whether it’s a painting, poem, or song, to honor victims of violence and promote healing.
By having a day specifically dedicated to victims of violence, it brings attention to this important issue and shows support for those who have been affected by it. It serves as a reminder that these individuals are not alone and that there is help available.
Having a designated day for victims of violence also helps raise awareness about different types of violence and their impacts on individuals and communities. This can lead to important conversations and actions towards preventing and addressing violence.
Acknowledging the experiences of victims of violence through this day can also be a step towards healing and empowerment. It allows for space to process emotions and connect with support systems, and can serve as a reminder of resilience and strength in the face of trauma.
