It is not just limited to physical harm—it includes psychological, emotional, financial, and other forms of a.bu.se.

A lot of victims suffer in silence, feeling alone and isolated. The purple porch light is a symbol that breaks through that silence.

It tells survivors, “You are seen, you are supported, and you are not alone.”

The color purple stands for strength, courage, and survival. By displaying a purple light, people show solidarity with victims and help raise awareness.

It encourages open conversations about a topic often hidden behind closed doors.

The light becomes a way to educate others about the signs of ab.us.e and the importance of standing with people affected.

Still, support goes beyond just lighting a bulb.

Survivors need real help— safe spaces, resources, and people who will listen and believe them.

We can help by spreading information about shelters and hotlines, offering empathy, and encouraging professional support.

Also, prevention is essential. That means challenging harmful behaviors, promoting respectful relationships, and holding abusers accountable.

A purple light may seem like a small gesture, but it can make a big impact.

It starts conversations, shows compassion, and builds a more aware and supportive community.

So next time you see that glow, remember its purpose—solidarity, hope, and the commitment to end abuse for good.
