Domestic Abuse: a "coercive pattern of power and control" whereby a person uses intimidation, threats, isolation, dominance, stalking, verbal demands, emotional abuse, humiliation, financial control, and/or physical violence to get what he/she wants.
Why the Color Purple? For domestic abuse survivors and advocates the purple ribbon is a unifying symbol of healing, hope and empowerment. For families and friends of domestic homicide victims, the purple ribbon honors the memory of their loved ones.
