The campaign was launched today to coincide with 'Go Purple Day'.
A new initiative aiming to reduce the prevalence of domestic violence is launching in the midlands today.
The Souls of our Shoes campaign displays comments from abuse survivors accompanied by around 50 pairs of shoes, to symbolise walking away from domestic violence.
The exhibition launches this evening at 8pm in St Mary's Church of Ireland, in Athlone, to coincide with 'Go Purple Day,' and will run through the Bank Holiday weekend.
Reverend William Steacy of the Church of Ireland's Athlone Union of Parishes says the Christian community has a role to play in showing solidarity to survivors:
