People across Co. Wexford and indeed the entire country are being encouraged to wear or display purple today as part of the national ‘Go Purple’ campaign, aimed at raising awareness about domestic violence and the supports available to victims.
The initiative, led by An Garda Síochána in partnership with local domestic abuse services, highlights the importance of solidarity with those affected by abuse.
Purple, the campaign’s signature colour, represents love, strength, dignity, and independence — values at the heart of the movement.
Gardaí are reminding the public that help is always available, and no one should suffer in silence.
