Throughout August, our TAG (Travel Assignment Group) logo turns purple in recognition of Women’s Month and in solidarity with the ongoing fight against Gender-Based Violence (GBV).
Purple represents dignity, courage, justice and hope. It serves as a reminder that every one of us has a role to play in recognising, preventing and speaking out against violence and abuse.
GBV is not just a women’s issue. It is a national crisis that affects families, communities and future generations.
Let’s stand together with one clear message:
💜 No excuses.
💜 No means no.
💜 Silence protects perpetrators – not survivors.
Creating awareness is only the beginning. We can all help build a culture where people feel safe to seek help, where victims are believed and supported and where respect, equality and compassion become everyday actions.

This Women’s Month, find a way to support your community. Learn the warning signs. Know the law. Speak up. Listen. Encourage. Stand together.
Every conversation matters. Every act of kindness counts. Every voice raised against violence brings us one step closer to change.
Let’s change the narrative and help write a future built on hope, dignity, respect and love for all.
#ThankfulThursday Reminder …
“Be thankful for the strength to stand up, the courage to speak out, and the compassion to stand beside those who need us most. Together, small acts of care can create lasting change.”
