Shine the Light on Woman Abuse Campaign
Shine the Light on Woman Abuse is a registered trademark campaign created by the London Abused Women's Centre. The campaign began in 2010 as a small, grassroots effort within our community. It has since become an internationally recognized awareness campaign, exposing men's violence against women worldwide.
Each year, the campaign brings awareness to the issue of men's violence against women by turning communities purple for the month of November. Participants show their solidarity with abused women and support them in understanding that any shame and/or blame they may feel does not belong to them but the perpetrators of their abuse.
The campaign acts as a beacon of hope while reminding us there is still much work to be done. Shine the Light on Woman Abuse is an opportunity for everyone to reflect, learn, listen, and have open conversations about men's violence against women to create change. Local businesses, corporations, schools, places of worship, and employment become change makers by joining the Shine the Light on Woman Abuse campaign.
