💜 Today, we wear purple in solidarity with survivors of domestic violence during Week Without Violence.

Purple represents survival, courage, and peace. By wearing purple, we send a simple but powerful message to survivors: you are not alone, and our community stands with you.

Together, we honor the strength of survivors and reaffirm our commitment to building a future free from violence.

- a healthy love recipe: mutual respect, trust, safety, choice, support
- empathetic & listen to understand
- empowered
- loyalty
- spread kindness & love, not hate
- 💜
- love yourself a LOT

This Week Without Violence (October 19-23), we're Rising Together and Centering Young Voices to End Gender-Based Violence.

💜 🪻💟 On Purple Thursday, October 22nd, show your solidarity for survivors of domestic violence by wearing purple!

Young people are disproportionately impacted by intimate partner violence, sexual assault, grooming, and exploitation, yet their voices are too often left out of conversations about prevention, healing, and change. Join us next week as we listen, learn, advocate, and imagine a future free from violence.
