The Purple Ribbon Campaign to end Domestic Violence:
Why Purple? |
Bruises women have sustained at the hands of their abusers.
It is time to remind our country of the hidden secrets many
women and children face daily, in they're nice warm pretty homes!
Hidden behind closed doors.
In a place they thought at one time would serve as comfort and love.
These Women Could be:
Your Best Friend
Your Mom
Your Daughter
A Co-Worker
A sweet, quiet neighbor
YOU
There are many faces in domestic violence.
There is no stereo type situation
Strong Powerful Women, Stay at Home Wives and Mothers,
The President of the PTA,
The clerk in the grocery store.
A CEO in charge of a corporation.
The Woman Being Beat Can Be ANYONE!
The only trait this woman will have in common with all the others is,
she know's all to well,
how to hide the abuse
from others.
She carries her scar's inside,
and hides the bruises from your eyes.
She needs to know, and we all must join hands to show her
SHE DOES NOT HAVE TO WALK ALONE ANYMORE!
So often, time and time again, a woman being
abused hides the abuse.
She is embarrassed.
She has very little self value.
It has been stolen from her, by her abuser. She usually demonstrates low self esteem.
She feel's like a failure.
She walks alone, afraid to let anyone in.
She feels no one will understand.
She feels worse yet, you will judge her.
I beg you my fellow sisters,
to stand for this woman.
To take her hand, gently.
To be there to listen, without judging.
She needs a true friend.
She needs a shoulder.
She needs you.
Her life may depend on you.
