Red Silhouette CampaignThe Red Silhouette Campaign was started in 1990 by a group of women in Minnesota out of their concern over escalating domestic violence cases causing death in their state. They created 26 life-sized red silhouettes to commemorate the lives of 26 women who lost their lives as a result of domestic violence. Each bore the name of the woman it represented, and gave a visual representation behind the name--someone who had once lived, worked, had neighbours, friends, family and children. They were known as the "Silent Witnesses".
Since that time, things have grown and changed to reflect the concerns of domestic violence and its impact on not only women, but men, children, the elderly, and even pets. Our Red Silhouettes aim to bring awareness into our community of the reality of domestic violence, let victims know that they aren't alone and that help is available, and to educate the public about domestic violence. Want to join in? Your business can host a Red Silhouette for the month of November by getting in touch with us at 780-842-2555 or [email protected]. We offer drop off & pick up for your convenience! There is a limited quantity of Red Silhouettes and they are popular, so don't hesitate!
