Purple has long been associated with domestic violence awareness. It symbolizes:

Courage

Survival

Honor

Dedication to change

The color choice is not random. Purple blends the calm stability of blue with the fierce energy of red. Together, it represents both strength and resilience — two qualities deeply tied to survivors’ journeys.
