Please join Partnership Against Domestic Violence (PADV) as they host a Candlelight Vigil. Sadly, hundreds of people pass away every year due to intimate partner violence. This Annual Candlelight Vigil is held each October, which is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, to remember those lost in Georgia over the last year as a result of this senseless crime. We light a candle in their memory and listen to inspiring testimonies from survivors who thankfully overcame their abuse with the help of local domestic violence organizations.

PADV is honored to host the 7th Annual Spreading Our Wings Candlelight Vigil in collaboration with Ahimsa House, Atlanta Judicial Circuit - Office of the District Attorney, the Atlanta Volunteers Lawyers Foundation's Domestic Violence Program, Georgia Asylum and Immigration Network, International Women's House, Raksha, Inc., Securus House, Tapestri and The Mary Gay House.
