Every minute, 20 people are physically abused by an intimate partner, according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. Domestic violence is a universal silent crime affecting all people, regardless of race, age, sexual orientation, religion, nationality or socio-economic status.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, residents are invited to honor and remember domestic violence survivors and victims during the city’s annual Illuminate Irving – A Night of Remembrance and Hope event.

Millennium Park | 201 Sowers Road

Lanterns will be available to personalize at no charge for anyone who would like to honor a victim or survivor of domestic violence during the lantern release ceremony on the water.
