The purple ribbon is worn in support of the International Purple Ribbon Project to put an end to all interpersonal violence, such as violence against women. In Canada, it is sometimes worn on December 6, National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women in memory of the École Polytechnique massacre committed by Marc Lépine to denounce violence against women, as an alternate to the white ribbon.
In Beatles internet fan circles, it is also worn in memory of John Lennon.
At county and state fairs in the United States, a purple ribbon is the award for placing seventh in a contest.
