Dallas Domestic Violence Task Force

Dallas Domestic Violence Task Force The Domestic Violence Task Force is made up of 40 plus members of various Dallas area agencies whose

In conjunction with the Crimes Against Women’s Conference in March 2014, the City of Dallas’ Domestic Violence Taskforce “Painted the Town Purple” to raise awareness of domestic violence. Many organizations in Downtown Dallas played an integral part in Mayor Mike Rawlings’ and the Domestic Violence Task Force’s commitment to end domestic violence with their participation. The Omni, Reunion Tower,

the Bank of America building and the Hunt Oil building turned their building lights purple, Neiman Marcus created a beautiful purple storefront, the Nasher hung purple ribbons in their trees, and many employees donned purple attire in solidarity. This year, the Domestic Violence Task Force will continue the campaign to end domestic violence by “Painting the Town Purple” during the month of October to bring further awareness to this often silent crime. The Task Force is asking you to “Paint Yourselves Purple” in solidarity with the cause and to come together as a community to help end domestic violence in Dallas.

2018 marks the 40th year of The Family Place saving lives in our community. In 1978, a group of community volunteers organized The Family Place as one of the first family violence shelters and service organizations in the state. Today, The Family Place is the largest family violence service provider in North Texas with 177 shelter beds. The Family Place served over 10k clients with 130k+ hours of service last year alone. Over the past 40 years, they have counseled more than 215,000 clients, provided lifesaving shelter to more than 24,000 women, men and children, and answered more than 600,000 calls for help. The Family Place has helped more than 18,800 batterers learn how to change their abusive behavior and reach approximately 6,000 students each year through youth education programs that help elementary, middle, high school and college students avoid bullying, dating violence and sexual assault and build healthy relationships. All programs are provided in Spanish and in English.
