Participate in the “Turn It Purple Contest!”
November is Woman Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month in the Province of Ontario. Every woman has the right to live free from violence and abuse in her home, workplace and community.
You can help make that happen.
The goals of the London Abused Women’s Centre’s Shine the Light on Woman Abuse Campaign are to raise awareness of woman abuse by turning the city of London purple for the month of November; to stand in solidarity with abused women and support them in understanding that any shame and/or blame they may feel does not belong to them but to the perpetrator of their abuse; and to raise the profile of the community agencies that can provide abused women with help as they attempt to live their lives free from violence and abuse.
Purple is a symbol of courage, survival and honour, and has come to symbolize the fight to end woman abuse. We invite local businesses, schools, places of worship, apartments and homes to go purple! Decorate with purple lights, balloons, streamers or any other purple supplies.
