Now in its third year, National Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Week is February 4th to February 8th. Every day, teens across the nation are affected by dating violence, regardless of gender, race, religion or where they live. This week brings attention to the reality of dating violence and its effect on teens. Learn and talk about this issue so we can find ways to stop it before it starts.
Get involved during this very important week. Find out if your school or community is doing something to participate. If not, visit our Take Action page to learn how you can start.
And if you want to learn about dating violence in a more engaging and creative way, find out if you can catch a performance of The Yellow Dress in your community, a one-woman play that highlights the dangers of dating violence. Make sure to check out one of these performances if you’re in the Washington DC area!
