Dating Violence Awareness Month, observed in February, raises awareness about unhealthy and abusive relationships, especially among teens and young adults. 1 in 5 teen girls, and 1 in 10 teen boys experience physical or sexual violence in their relationship.

This month focuses on education, prevention, and support by encouraging conversations about healthy relationships and recognizing warning signs of abuse. This month also empowers individuals and communities to take action through advocacy, resources, and survivor support.
