October is the month we honor the many survivors of domestic violence with the color purple. They were able to escape the physical, emotional, even financial abuse at the hands of their spouses or partners. We hear a survivor’s story and share resources for those who are still experiencing it, exacerbated by the month’s-long pandemic shutdown.
