WEAR A PURPLE RIBBON TO FIGHT AGAINST VIOLENCE

Released on May 11, 2000

To promote the elimination of violence against women, Saskatchewan people are

urged to wear purple ribbons in recognition of Purple Ribbon Awareness Week –

May 14 to 20.



The Purple Ribbon Awareness Week commemorates Saskatchewan women who have died

by acts of violence by their partners. It also promotes awareness and

encourages community support for ending violence.



"The Government of Saskatchewan's commitment to end violence against women and

family violence is evident through its work with communities, families and

individuals," Minister Responsible for the Status of Women Joanne Crofford

said. "We have worked with community partners to develop a range of integrated

services to address the needs of those who are experiencing family violence."



These services include shelters, crisis centres, sexual assault counsellors,

innovative legislation, programs for batterers and education in schools.



"Even as we celebrate Mother's Day, let us recognize that not all families are

safe havens. Let us honour women who have died due to family violence and wear

a purple ribbon to remember those wives, sisters, daughters, cousins, aunts,

mothers and grandmothers and friends," Saskatchewan Battered Women's Advocacy

Network Coordinator Julie Johnson said.
