Purple Ribbon Campaign
PRRWS encourages everyone to proudly wear a purple ribbon to raise awareness of violence in our community, support victims of violence,
and call for the end of the cycle of abuse.
In Canada in 2022, there were 117,093 victims of intimate partner violence aged 12 years and older.
(Statistics Canada. 2023. “Trends in police-reported family violence and intimate partner violence in Canada, 2022.” )
Between 2011 and 2021, police reported 1,125 gender-related homicides of women and girls in Canada. Of these homicides, two-thirds (66%) were perpetrated by an intimate partner, 28% a family member, 5% a friend or acquaintance and the remaining 1% a stranger.
(Statistics Canada. 2023. “Trends in police-reported family violence and intimate partner violence in Canada, 2022.”)
Alberta has the third highest rate of self-reported spousal violence among Canadian provinces, yet family violence is preventable. November is Family Violence Prevention Month in Alberta although we can take actions to prevent family violence year round. It is a time to increase awareness of the warning signs of family violence and the resources and supports available so we can work together to end family violence.
Visit Albert Council of Women's Shelters to learn more about identifying abuse, how to help and additional resources:
