Purple Plaques

The Purple Plaques (Welsh: Placiau Porffor) scheme in Wales, UK aims to install plaques on buildings to increase recognition of the lives of women who have had a significant and long-lasting impact associated with Wales.

[1] The purple colour was chosen because of its association with the women's suffrage movement.

[2] It was launched on 8 March 2017 (International Women's Day) with the aim of installing the first plaque on the Senedd building to commemorate Val Feld.

The plaques are glazed purple ceramic with white lettering.

The extent of her impact on women, including as a role model, will also be considered, as well as whether she has already been commemorated.
