Darlington High School conducted a Teen Dating Violence Awareness activity on today during all three lunches. It was great and as always, the students love the message board and signing their name. Students were asked to write a message or sign their name promoting “Love & Respect” and they received an orange ribbon. The students gave out over 300 ribbons.

SCCADVASA Applauds President Obama for Recognizing February as National Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month
##################################################################################################################
On January 31, 2013, President Barack Obama issued a Presidential Proclamation declaring February as National Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month and renewed his administration’s commitment to ending violence against women.
“This year, it is estimated that 1 in 10 teens will be hurt intentionally by someone they are dating. While this type of abuse cuts across lines of age and gender, young women are disproportionately affected by both dating violence and sexual assault. This month, we stand with those who have known the pain and isolation of an abusive relationship, and we recommit to ending the cycle of violence that affects too many of our sons and daughters.”
In the Proclamation (http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2013/01/31/presidential-proclamation-national-teen-dating-violence-awareness-and-pr), the White House highlighted their dating violence project 1 is 2 Many, http://www.WhiteHouse.gov/1is2many, and the national project Love Is Respect at http://www.loveisrespect.org/. In December, SCCADVASA created our own prevention website for South Carolina, called SC Says Says No More, http://www.scsaysnomore.org/.
The President ends the Proclamation by reminding us that “Each of us has an obligation to stand against dating violence when we see it. This month, as we remember that important lesson, let us rededicate ourselves to making its promise real.”SCCAVASA thanks President Obama for his commitment to this issue, and for his support of all those working beside him to end dating violence.
SCCADVASA is a network of the 22 sexual assault and domestic violence advocacy programs across South Carolina. SC Says No More, our Primary Prevention Project, exists to bring an end to sexual assault and domestic violence through education, collaboration, and awareness.
