Oxford County, Canada, installs purple benches with QR codes to combat domestic violence.

Oxford County, Canada, has installed eight bright purple benches to raise awareness for November's Intimate Partner Violence Awareness Month. Each bench, located in high-traffic areas like parks, features a QR code linking to local domestic abuse services. The Purple Bench Project, inspired by Nova Scotia woman Barb Baillie who was murdered by her husband in 1990, aims to spark conversations about spousal abuse and offer hope and help to those in need.
