The campaign is led by An Garda Síochána alongside domestic abuse support services nationwide.
Midlands counties are set to Go Purple today to raise awareness of domestic violence.
The campaign, run by An Garda Síochána in collaboration with domestic abuse services across the country, seeks to raise awareness of domestic violence and promote available supports for victims and survivors.
People are being encouraged to show their support by wearing purple, decorating workplaces, schools and community spaces, or sharing purple-themed images and messages on social media.
A special walk to mark the occasion in Laois was held from the Portlaoise Parish Centre at 10am this morning.
Stalls will also be in Lyster Square and in Tullamore's Bridge Centre today to spread awareness of domestic abuse.
