Executive Director Nancy Johnston says that fighting gender-based violence is a job they cannot do alone.

“Our community plays an important role in addressing gender-based violence, and throughout November our community showed survivors that they are not alone,” Johnston said.

“Thank you to everyone who participated in the Wrapped In Courage campaign, whether you raised a flag, purchased a scarf or wore purple, your support to survivors and your commitment matters.”

Wrapped In Courage purple scarves and flags symbolize the courage needed by communities in supporting survivors of violence and ending the epidemic of intimate partner violence, gender-based violence and femicide across Ontario. Cornerstone is still selling hand-made purple Wrapped In Courage scarves – to purchase a scarf, or for more information, contact cfordham@cornerstonenorthumberland.ca
