And sometimes, it’s a quiet act of healing.
The Role of Community in Prevention
One of the most powerful aspects of the purple porch light movement is community participation.
When neighbors see each other participating, it builds collective awareness.
It sends a shared message:
“This community does not ignore abuse.”
Community support can:
Encourage victims to seek help.
Discourage perpetrators who rely on secrecy.
Foster conversations about healthy relationships.
