Brazil's Congresso Nacional lit up in purple for Purple Day

Purple day is an event that occurs on March 26. It is celebrated by several organizations around the world. The idea is to raise awareness of epilepsy. Many people do not know what epilepsy is, or they have wrong ideas about the condition. Epilepsy is a common condition, yet many people who suffer from it are stigmatized. The organizers also want to reduce the stigma associated with the disease.
