VAV holds knowledge and awareness as the ultimate “good.” They promote this more than showing any form of “evil” – though one could assume that for the group, “evil” is ignorance. VAV’s members’ reverence for education and learning about the issue is clearly defined in their fliers for their program.
Flier for Domestic Violence Rally
VAV does everything they can to show that domestic violence and sexual assault are everyone’s problem and that it does not concern one gender more than another or one culture more than other. Through their logos and other information they distribute, VAV tries to appeal to all populations through representation of various groups.
VAV relies heavily on news coverage to spread its messages. Also, when hosting information sessions or giving educational presentations, members distribute wallet-size cards with contact information for the group including other community resources for issues of domestic violence and sexual assault.
VAV’s greatest opponent in its efforts to create awareness among people is society norms that are perpetuated in popular media that make it acceptable to treat people in substandard ways.
