In 2013, the City of Phoenix created the "Roadmap to Excellence: making the City of Phoenix a National Leader in Preventing and Ending Domestic Violence" along with an awareness campaign called "Paint Phoenix Purple". In addition to activities that directly impact survivors, the initiative also emphasizes having important conversations to prevent and end domestic violence.
