If you’ve noticed purple porch lights, they’re more than decoration—they send a powerful message of support for domestic violence survivors. Domestic violence affects all kinds of people and isn’t just physical—it includes emotional, psychological, financial, and sexual abuse. Many victims suffer in silence, feeling trapped and alone.

The purple light symbolizes courage and survival. It tells survivors, “You’re not alone. We support you.” This small act helps raise awareness and breaks the silence around domestic abuse, encouraging conversations and making victims feel seen.
