💜 October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month 💜 Domestic violence affects millions of individuals, regardless of age, gender, or background. It’s time to break the silence, raise awareness, and support survivors. According to a study published by the CDC, 42% of women and 21% of men who experience intimate partner violence (IPV) report some form of injury, many of which require medical attention.

The "Hear Her" campaign, launched by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), focuses on preventing pregnancy-related deaths by raising awareness about the warning signs of complications during and after pregnancy. The campaign emphasizes the importance of listening to women when they express concerns about their health, as timely recognition and response to these warning signs can save lives. It aims to educate both healthcare providers and the public to ensure that women's voices are heard and taken seriously during and after pregnancy.
