Paris, Tenn.–Henry County has been showing out for Domestic Violence Awareness Month, with county officials, employees at the schools, library and social service agencies wearing purple to raise awareness.
In October, the local WRAP organization encourages community members and professionals to “Go Purple” to show support for domestic violence survivors and families. The Eiffel Tower in Paris was also illuminated purple over the weekend.
