The Domestic Violence Awareness Project joins NO MORE in their quest to increase national awareness of domestic violence and sexual assault and to unite the efforts of both movements to end gender-based violence. Created in 2010 by a zealous group of 50 individuals from varying backgrounds with the support of major anti-violence organizations, corporations and networks, and by employing solid, cause marketing, research-based data, NO MORE seeks to "stop the stigma, shame and silence for good." NO MORE is bringing greater attention to the widespread issue of domestic violence and sexual assault through the implementation of a unifying symbol that can be used by all to show support for ending these forms of abuse. 

By harnessing our collective influence through public awareness events, social media, mass marketing, celebrity appeal, and a unified demonstration of support, our efforts, our voices and our impact are stronger. This year, as NO MORE continues to grow, and in anticipation of a full-scale launch in January 2013, the DVAP encourages all programs and coalitions to integrate NO MORE into their current planning for DVAM, October 2012.
