Three years ago in 2022, a poster celebrating “VOTES FOR WOMEN” was the centenary of most PEI women gaining the right to vote, and the struggles for equality rights that have continued for a century. The work to end gender-based violence is part of that story. Supporting information is available for educators and the public.

The 2025-2026 Purple Ribbon Campaign Against Violence Against Women theme states that the accountability for violence must be placed on those who perpetrate violence, not on those who are victims. Shame must change sides was the sentiment of Gisele Pelicot, the French woman who suffered horrific sexual violence at the hands of her husband and numerous men in her small village. Gisele inspired women and survivors of gender-based violence the world over with her profound courage in sharing her story publicly, and thereby shaming her rapists. We believe survivors and we demand that abusers take responsibility for their actions.

Hard copies of the 2025 “Shame Must Change Sides: No stigma on survivors” multilingual Purple Ribbon Campaign poster, as well as Purple Ribbon Campaign ribbons, bookmarks, and buttons are available by request to [email protected] for pickup.
