2024-2025 Purple Ribbon Campaign Against Violence

This year’s Purple Ribbon Campaign guide for educators has some of our most-requested resources as Google slideshows, ready for presentation from the following links:

Two 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 2024-2025 Purple Ribbon Campaign Against Violence Against Women theme speaks to the role that everyone, in every community, has to tackle the challenge of ending violence. We continue to hear terrible stories of violence against women all across Canada, in communities large and small, urban and rural, of all demographics. We know gender-based violence happens; it is time to take action and advocate for more responsiveness, safety, prevention and inclusion. It is through collective actions that all citizens, including survivors, can feel supported to thrive.

Hard copies of the 2024 “Communities Can End Gender-Based Violence: awareness, advocacy, and action” multilingual Purple Ribbon Campaign poster, as well as Purple Ribbon Campaign ribbons, bookmarks, and badges are available by request to [email protected] for pickup.
