People are donning their purple gear — and civic offices around the country are ready to light up in the colour today to highlight the prevalence of domestic violence across Ireland.

Go Purple is a national campaign taking place that asks people to wear something purple, or to connect to the colour somehow, for the day to show solidarity with victims and those offering support.
