Friends with Dignity
Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month
A message from our CEO Manuela Whitford
“May is Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month, and represents a time to reflect, raise awareness, and take action.
Join us in our Shine a Light campaign to honour those we’ve lost and to stand in solidarity with survivors. Together, we can illuminate the path toward a safer future for all.
By lighting a lamp or candle, you can show solidarity with victim-survivors and help illuminate the path to a safer future.”
How can you participate:
- Purchase a Shine or Light Pack: Each pack includes a branded LED lantern, educational resources, a campaign poster, and more.
- Light your own lamp or purchase a FwD Candle
- Share your light: Take a photo of your lit lamp or candle and share it on social media. Tag @friendswithdignity and use the hashtag #ShineALightOnDomesticViolence to spread awareness.
Monetary donations:
If you can’t shine a physical light on domestic violence during the month of May, you can still support victim-survivors by donating money to our campaign.
