Pamilerin Beckley - The Haven Empurple Week

The Chris Allen Podcast

Sunday, 2 March 2025 - 16 minutes

Pamilerin Beckley, Architect of Stories at the Haven Wolverhampton, talks to Chris and Kirstie Westwood about Empurple Week and its relationship with International Women's Day.

Empurple – ‘to colour or become purple’ – represents a unified voice against domestic abuse and takes on new urgency this year as we embrace the theme: Accelerate Action. Purple, an internationally recognised colour for campaigns against domestic abuse, continues to symbolise justice and dignity. This year, it also stands as a call to action – urging us to move beyond awareness and take bold, tangible steps towards ending domestic abuse and creating a more equitable society.
