One chair. One person. One story, told at their own pace. The Purple Chair is for women and men who have lived with abuse — and want others to know that getting out is possible.
Would you like to tell your story?
Write to us. You decide how much to share, and how.
- Nothing is published until you have said yes to the finished text or video.
- You stay anonymous unless you want otherwise. Names, places and identifying details are removed.
- You can withdraw your story at any time.
- If you are still in an abusive relationship, we would rather help you stay safe than publish anything. Contact the helplines first.
The first stories are coming
We will publish them here and on our channels as they are ready — and approved by the people telling them.
