Launched in 1994, the first-ever national public education campaign on domestic violence includes television, print and radio spots, billboards and internet materials. The award-winning campaign is run by the Family Violence Prevention Fund in partnership with The Advertising Council. The print PSAs have run in the New York Times, People and New Woman magazines, and thousands of other outlets.
Placements continue to the present.
This January, the television PSA is scheduled to air on prime time network television during the American Music Awards, on the syndicated Montel Williams Show, and on several cable stations. That support has allowed us to reach millions of Americans, providing them with valuable information about how to stop domestic violence and help victims of abuse. The more Americans become educated about this issue, the more lives we save. Founded in 1980 by Esta Soler, the Family Violence Prevention Fund is a leading national non-profit organization focusing on domestic violence prevention, education and public policy reform. The FVPF has developed pioneering strategies to address domestic violence in the justice, public health, child welfare, and public education fields.
