The goals of the Shine the Light on Woman Abuse campaign are:
-
to raise awareness of men’s violence against women by turning cities across the country purple for the month of November;
-
to stand in solidarity with abused women and support them in understanding that any shame and/or blame they may feel as a result of the abuse they are experiencing (or have experienced) does not belong to them but to the perpetrator of their abuse; and,
-
to raise the profile of community agencies that can provide abused women with help as they attempt to live their lives free from violence and abuse.
