Presidential
Proclamation -- National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, 2013
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
Since the passage of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) nearly 20
years ago, our Nation's response to domestic violence has greatly improved.
What was too often seen as a private matter best hidden behind closed doors is
now an established issue of national concern. We have changed our laws,
transformed our culture, and improved support services for survivors. We have
seen a significant drop in domestic violence homicides and improved training
for police, prosecutors, and advocates. Yet we must do more to provide
protection and justice for survivors and to prevent violence from occurring.
During National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we stand with domestic abuse
survivors, celebrate our Nation's progress in combatting these despicable
crimes, and resolve to carry on until domestic violence is no more.
Although we have made
substantial progress in reducing domestic violence, one in four women and one
in seven men in the United States still suffer serious physical violence at the
hands of an intimate partner at least once during their lifetimes. Every day,
three women lose their lives in this country as a result of domestic violence.
Millions of Americans live in daily, silent fear within their own homes.
My Administration remains
devoted to halting this devastating violence. To lead by example, last year I
directed Federal agencies to develop policies to assist victims of domestic
violence in the Federal workforce. Earlier this year, Vice President Biden
announced new grants for initiatives that aim to reduce domestic violence
homicides across our country.
This past spring, I signed
the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act. The Act provides law
enforcement with better resources to investigate cases of rape, gives colleges
more tools to educate students about dating violence and sexual assault, and
empowers tribal courts to prosecute those who commit domestic violence on
tribal lands, regardless of whether the aggressor is a member of the tribe. In
addition, VAWA will continue to allow relief for immigrant victims of domestic
violence, and LGBT victims will receive care and assistance.
Thanks to the landmark Affordable Care Act, insurance companies
will be prohibited from denying coverage because of pre-existing conditions,
and new health plans must cover domestic violence screening and counseling with
no copayments or cost sharing. Millions will have the chance to sign up for
affordable care through the new Health Insurance Marketplace by visiting www.HealthCare.gov beginning October 1.
Ending violence in the home is a national imperative that
requires vigilance and dedication from every sector of our society. We must
continue to stand alongside advocates, victim service providers, law
enforcement, and our criminal justicesystem as they hold offenders accountable
and provide care and support to survivors. But our efforts must extend beyond
the criminal justice system to include housing and economic advocacy for
survivors. We must work with young people to stop violence before it starts. We
must also reach out to friends and loved ones who have suffered from domestic
violence, and we must tell them they are not alone. I encourage victims, their
loved ones, and concerned citizens to learn more by calling the National
Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE, or by visiting www.TheHotline.org.
This October, let us honor
National Domestic Violence Awareness Month by promoting peace in our own
families, homes, and communities. Let us renew our commitment to end domestic
violence -- in every city, every town, and every corner of America
NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK
OBAMA, President of the United States of America ,
by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the
United States
Awareness Month. I call on
all Americans to speak out against domestic violence and support local efforts
to assist victims of these crimes in finding the help and healing they need.
IN WITNESS
WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirtieth day of September, in the
year of our Lord two thousand thirteen, and of the Independence
of the United States of America

Domestic Violence Awareness Month
Domestic Violence Awareness Month evolved
from the first Day of Unity observed in October, 1981 by the National Coalition
Against Domestic Violence. The intent was to connect battered women’s advocates across the nation who were working to end
violence against women and their children. The Day of Unity soon became a
special week when a range of activities were conducted at the local, state,
and national levels.
These activities were as varied and diverse as the program sponsors but had common themes: mourning those who have died because of domestic violence, celebrating those who have survived, and connecting those who work to end violence. In October 1987, the first Domestic Violence Awareness Month was observed. That same year the first national toll-free hotline was begun. In 1989 the first Domestic Violence Awareness Month Commemorative Legislation was passed by the U.S. Congress. Such legislation has passed every year since with NCADV providing key leadership in this effort. In October 1994 NCADV, in conjunction with Ms. Magazine, created the "Remember My Name" project, a national registry to increase public awareness of domestic violence deaths. Since then, NCADV has been collecting information on women who have been killed by an intimate partner and produces a poster each October for Domestic Violence Awareness Month, listing the names of those documented in that year. The Day of Unity is celebrated the first Monday in October. NCADV hopes that events in communities and regions across the fifty states will culminate in a powerful statement celebrating the strength of battered women and their children. |
