October 2024 is Domestic Violence Awareness Month in Ramsey County
The board of commissioners declares October 2024 as Domestic Violence Awareness Month in Ramsey County.
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 Office.
We honor the pioneering work of community-based advocates who founded the nation’s first shelter, have been instrumental in the creation of national models that reduce domestic violence and homicides, and have implemented culturally relevant approaches and responses.
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.
