Domestic Violence Awareness Month - Purple Thursday |
| Date: Oct 24, 2013 at 2:00pm to 2:30pm | |
I am a co-coordinator for Stopping Violence Against Women and Consensual Campaign for Women's Initiative.
October 24, 2013 is the 7th annual observance of Purple Thursday. This day honors victims and support survivors of domestic violence. Here is a blurb from the National Resource Center on Domestic Violence:
Make a fashion statement that really says something: wear something purple on Thursday, October 25th to honor victims and support survivors of domestic violence! This year marks the 7th annual observance of Purple Thursday, the awareness day launched by the DC Coalition Against Domestic Violence that’s now gone national with Purple Thursday observances in Massachusetts, New York and Oklahoma.

Women's Initiatives goal for American University is to show and promote campus wide support for victims and survivors by having clubs and organizations take pictures of their members wearing purple and send them in to me. These pictures will be featured on our website: http://wi.ausg.org/#&panel1-1. Show APO support by taking a picture in purple this Thursday! | |
