Go Purple Day is taking place this Friday, April 29. Go Purple for Domestic Violence tomorrowSafe Ireland is partnering with An Garda Síochána for this year’s Go Purple campaign tomorrow, Friday 29th April, to create national awareness of domestic abuse and to consolidate community partnerships between Domestic Violence Services and An Garda Síochána. The event was piloted last year as a local initiative by Garda Stacey Looby, who is based in Athlone. Safe Ireland is calling on people to show support for victims of domestic violence by going purple at home, in the workplace or the community, and in turn to donate to their local domestic violence support service. The Go Purple awareness day is an opportunity for frontline services to partner with the Gardaí in their area to engage everyone in a show of solidarity and resistance to violence.
