Safe Love Tips (Purple Thursday)
Every Third Thursday in
October is Purple Thursday. Purple Thursday is a day to bring awareness of
Domestic Violence Awareness Prevention and for starting a conversation for
healthy relationships. Also, it is a day for healing as well as making a pledge
for standing up against violence and abuse in relationships. You can make a
pledge or use the pledge online for Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
Additionally, you can use a puzzle, a healthy relationship quiz, or other
activities to start a conversation with your partner, children, friends, and
family about having a safe relationship.
Use the hashtag, # Safe
Love and # Purple Thursday for bringing awareness on social media about the warning
signs, symptoms, and how to prevent domestic violence and abuse. Another way is
to use Zoom backgrounds to start a conversation for Domestic Violence Awareness
Month or just to bring awareness during your Zoom meetings. Wear purple for your
job, to your school, or to your college. Wear purple ribbons or give out purple
ribbons. Use purple backgrounds or make your wallpaper using the purple ribbon
for domestic violence for your office computer for one day.
You can also pass out
office supplies in purple and do activities for Domestic Violence Prevention in
the workplace. Decorate your dining table with purple or use purple items for
your tea break to have a conversation with your family. Use a purple lightbulb and
light your porch purple. After having a conversation with your family, you can
hang a purple background or use purple props to post on social media about the
importance of having conversations regarding healthy relationships. Practice
active listening, be available for your relationship, be honest, and trust your
partner.
To be safe in your
relationships, one needs to feel safe, to feel trust, have empathy, and be
respectful with each other emotionally and physically. Permit your partner to
express themselves as well as having personal space between each other if necessary
for your mental and physical wellness. Furthermore, be careful in giving
specific details about your past relationships because your partner might not
want to know everything even if they say they want to know. If you are speaking
to someone online on online dating websites do not be specific with your personal
details about your job, your school, or your family. Last, meet in a public
place, use the buddy system, and let your family and friends know where you
will be when you meet your online date.
Share your mobile
location with your family and friends. Do not share your mobile location with
your online date. Protect your personal information. Avoid blaming, avoid mind
games, or rough games during sexual intimacy. Protect yourself when you are
ready to have sexual intimacy with your partner.
Be cautious but it is
necessary to have safe love in all aspects with your partner or date. If your
partner throws you, pushes you, shoves you, or hits you; Do not let them hurt you
physically and emotionally. Dedicate this day to supporting survivors of
Domestic Violence and Abuse by adding purple hearts on social media, making purple paper hearts, and spread awareness of relationships without violence. Also, commit yourself to prevent
it from happening. Here are websites for Domestic Violence Awareness Month and Purple
Thursday.
