TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and Thursday is a special day.
It’s called Purple Thursday.
Organizations from around the country will be wearing purple to show support for those suffering from domestic violence, as well as raising awareness about the issue.
In Terre Haute, the Council on Domestic Abuse has some special plans for the day.
Our staff is going to all wear purple tomorrow. We’re going to be posting pictures throughout the day. It’s like a big push to raise awareness for what we do and for what people are out there experiencing.
Emily Murray – Executive Director – CODA
CODA encourages people to post themselves wearing purple on social media and then tagging them in the post.
They plan to make a collage and share it with the community.
