December 6 “National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women”
The 2022-2023 Purple Ribbon Campaign theme reflects the many challenges experienced in recent years and the role we have in restoring resiliency, safety, and health to our communities. There is damage to us all when individuals use and experience violence, and the entire community needs to heal through hope, help, and accountability.
The purple ribbons are worn in honour and remembrance of the 14 women murdered in Montreal in 1989, and the 10 women murdered in PEI since 1989 by someone who knew them. We also wear purple ribbons as a call for justice for the thousands of murdered and missing Indigenous women and girls in Canada.
