A purple umbrella signifies shelter against inclement weather..jpg)
It is a temporary safe individualized protection used during a movement
to a more permanent and stronger protection. It is a metaphor for the support that
VLMFSS workers provide to women on their journey from a life of violence to a life
of safety. Some supports withstand the length of time and some are brief.
We hope these umbrellas will stand up to external pressures and
provide protection for a long time.
Territorial Acknowledgement
We acknowledge and thank the Coast Salish Nations of Musqueam, Tsleil–Wautuh and Squamish
