Purple Ribbon Campaign Gets Underway

To show support for ending gender-based violence, Islanders are encouraged to wear purple during the 16 Days of Activism from today until December 10th. Purple ribbons are worn in honour and remembrance of the 14 women murdered in Montreal on December 6, 1989, and the 10 women murdered in PEI since 1989 by someone who knew them. The ribbons are also a call for justice for the tragic number of murdered and missing Indigenous women and girls in Canada.
