Wrapped in Courage
The purple scarf is a symbol of the courage it takes a woman to leave her abuser. However, the courage of a woman alone is not enough. It takes the support of an entire community to end violence against women.
Each year in the month of November we ask the community to show their support to stopping violence against women by purchasing and wearing a purple scarf in support of My Sister's Place.
2022 marks the 10th anniversary of the Wrapped in Courage campaign and this year our scarves are produced by the Canadian company, Hamro Village, they are passionate about fair trade, dedicated to supporting marginalized artisans, empowering women, supporting ethical manufacturing and human rights. To learn more about the company log onto hamrovillage.com. Each scarf is a handmade, unique, artisan product, hand-felted merino wool with integrated recycled saris; the predominant colour will be purple. No two scarves will be the same!
