Stand Up. Speak Out. Support Survivors.
Domestic violence is more than a private family matter—it is a community issue that affects individuals, children, families, and entire communities.
This October, we stand together to raise awareness, honor survivors, remember those whose lives have been impacted or lost, and strengthen our commitment to prevention, safety, and support.
Domestic violence does not discriminate. It can happen to anyone, regardless of age, background, income, or circumstances. No one deserves to live in fear, and no one should have to face abuse alone.
WEAR PURPLEWear purple throughout October to show your support for survivors and help raise awareness about domestic violence.
Whether it’s a purple shirt, ribbon, accessory, or simply a splash of purple—wear it with purpose. Wear it for awareness. Wear it for survivors. Wear it for those we have lost.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
Listen without judgment.
Believe survivors when they share their experiences. Let them know they are not alone.
