National Purple Thursday is a national day of action each October during Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Thursday, Oct 21 is National Purple Thursday for Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

National Purple Thursday is an opportunity to raise awareness about domestic violence and an easy way for people to show their commitment to promoting healthy relationships.

The goal of the day is to raise awareness about domestic, spousal, and teen dating violence.

People wear purple on the day, a color that has long been used by women and men seeking justice.

Women are the primary victims of domestic violence, but both men and women can be victims.

By wearing purple, conversations can be started about domestic violence, with the goal of lessening it and building healthy relationships.

June N. Jenkins Women's Shelter invites everyone to participate by:
