Townsville to turn purple for domestic violence awareness
Townsville City Council is raising awareness of domestic and family violence in the month of May by turning landmarks across Townsville purple.
Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month runs for the month of May and is a chance for the whole community to learn more about the prevalence of domestic violence in our own backyard.
Council has turned the Strand Fountain purple, and will light up landmarks like the Townsville sign, Victoria Bridge and the Wharton Reef Lighthouse in support of the cause.
Community and Cultural Development Committee chairperson Ann-Maree Greaney said turning landmarks purple across Townsville was just one step towards shining a light on the insidious issue of domestic and family violence.
