The 25th November is International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. It also kick started our 16 Days of Activism Campaign.
Up until the 10th December, we uploaded a new article each day discussing topics relating to violence against women, from media coverage to warning signs.
We, like so many others, want to change the narrative around gender-based violence. To fight a problem, we must first understand it.
Remember, if you are experiencing any type of violence or abuse, you can contact us on 0330 0560 065 to speak with a member of our women-led team. We’re here no matter what you need support with — whether you’re dealing with trauma, if you’ve noticed something isn’t right in your relationship, if you’re experiencing negative thoughts or financial stress.
