Board of commissioners declares October 2023 Domestic Violence Awareness Month
The Ramsey County Board of Commissioners has declared October 2023 Domestic Violence Awareness Month in Ramsey County.
Domestic violence touches the lives of people of all ages, backgrounds, genders and gender identities, sexual orientations, spiritual beliefs and circumstances when a home becomes a place of hopelessness and terror, and leaves in its wake a myriad of loss throughout our community.
Ramsey County is a recognized national leader for its groundbreaking response to domestic violence, and will continue its endless resolve to confront domestic violence at all levels and support victims and their children, and the efforts of our community-based advocacy programs, Public Health workers, County Attorney’s Office, Community Corrections, Emergency Communications and Sheriff's Office.
As a county, we acknowledge that solutions to end domestic violence will only happen with the commitment of our entire community to ensure the safety of victims, and in working tirelessly with our community-based partners in realizing an equitable and violence-free community for all.
