National Wear Purple Day
Thursday, October 19th
Make a Fashion Statement that Really Says Something!
Wear something purple on Thursday, October 19th to honor victims and support survivors of domestic violence.
Domestic violence is an epidemic affecting individuals in every community, regardless of age, economic status, sexual orientation, gender, race, religion, or nationality. It is often accompanied by emotionally abusive and controlling behavior that is only a fraction of a systematic pattern of dominance and control. Domestic violence can result in physical injury, psychological trauma, and in severe cases, even death. The devastating physical, emotional, and psychological consequences of domestic violence can cross generations and last a lifetime.
