Wear Purple Day; February 9th, 2022
Show your support to end gender-based violence and Be More Than A Bystander by wearing purple and opening up the table for conversations
Why Wear Purple?
Battered women chose purple as an evolution of the lavender from decades past. It’s seen as a color of royalty and is already associated with females anyway.”
-Rose M. Garrity, President of the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV)
