Before another name.
The Violet Thread documents verified intimate partner violence homicide cases—beginning in Florida—to remember the lives behind the statistics, recognize patterns that may inform prevention, and turn knowledge into action.

CONTEXT
WHY THIS EXISTS.
Intimate partner violence data exists across public records, government reports, local organizations, court records, news archives, and fatality reviews—but the information is fragmented. The Violet Thread is working to bring verified case information, pattern recognition, remembrance, education, and prevention resources together in one accessible public platform.
The data exists.
The stories exist.
The patterns exist.
They’re just scattered.
we’re connecting the thread.
THREE KNOTS

Education
Clear context for classrooms, communities, and the people seeking to understand.
03
Prevention
Warning signs, conversations, and actions that can interrupt violence.
04
Remembrance
Memorial profiles that honor the whole person behind every record.
05
Resources
Trusted pathways for support, safety planning, training, and connection.
THE CASE ARCHIVE
Documenting the truth, one verified case at a time.
The public database begins in Florida and is built around verification, context, and dignity—not spectacle. Search records, understand patterns, and see the lives behind the data.
BUILT WITH CARE
Every record is grounded in verified sources and handled with an ethic of remembrance.

REMEMBRANCE
No life should be reduced to a headline.
Memorial profiles make room for the person: the stories they held, the people who loved them, and the legacy that deserves more than a number.
