Creation of the LGBTQ Domestic Violence Awareness Day in 2020, was the first time in history that an awareness day was formed to highlight domestic, family and intimate partner violence and abuse occurring in LGBTQ+ communities. Held annually on May 28, LGBTQ Domestic Violence Awareness Day’s focus is in helping end violence and abuse within LGBTQ communities by increasing visibility and understanding, and giving hope and courage to victims and survivors.
Old Treasury Building will be lit in rainbow for this event from sunrise to sunset.
