The London Abused Women's Centre encourages you to wear purple

LONDON, ONT. -- Friday is "Wear Purple Day" to show your support for abused women and girls.

As a part of the Shine the Light on Woman Abuse campaign in November, people are encouraged to wear purple to show their support.

The London Abused Women's Centre encourages those who wear purple to upload their photos to social media and include the hashtag #ShinetheLight and tag them at @endwomanabuse.

For more information, visit their website.

Wear purple today and #ShineTheLight on woman abuse. Stand up as an ally so women and girls know they are supported. If you suspect a woman is being abused, ask her privately and confidentially. If she says she is, believe her and ask if you can help her access services. #ldnont
