Purple Thursday is a national day of action during Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) to raise awareness of domestic violence and show support for survivors. People wear purple to symbolize peace, courage, survival, honor, and dedication to ending violence, and to let survivors know they are not alone. You can wear purple clothing, nail polish, socks, ties, hats, scarves, and more. Tag @cwge_bgsu on Instagram to share your Purple Thursday photos.
