Domestic Violence Awareness Month

October is known as National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. The Kent State University Women’s Center and the Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) have put together a calendar of events for the month.

These events are opportunities for members of the Kent State community to learn more about Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), its warning signs and how to help a friend or family member who may be with an abusive partner. There will also be information on ways everyone can help prevent violence and abuse at Kent State.
