Domestic violence is often hidden behind closed doors. It crosses every demographic boundary — age, income, ethnicity, geography.
Because it is so frequently concealed, public acknowledgment becomes powerful.
A purple porch light does several subtle but meaningful things:
It sparks curiosity and conversation.
It signals awareness.
It tells survivors they are not alone.
It shows that someone cares enough to make a visible statement.
For a person experiencing abuse, seeing a home lit in purple can feel like a quiet sign of safety — a reminder that compassion exists in their community.
Even if no direct conversation happens, the symbol communicates solidarity.
