Ending violence against women starts with men
White Ribbon Day (25 November) marks the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and also launches the 16 Days of Activism, a global campaign to end gender-based violence.
In Wales, between 2018 and 2023, recorded incidents of violence against women and girls increased by 37%. At least one in 12 women experiences male violence each year, though the true numbers are likely much higher.
At CAB Gwynedd we recognise through our work the impact violence and the threat of violence can have and we are keen to support our clients. That’s why we are supporting the Welsh Government’s Sound campaign. It engages with young men and boys across Wales about respect and accountability. The campaign tackles issues like gaslighting and coercive control and uses positive role models to promote healthy, respectful relationships. By reaching over 95% of young men in Wales – more than 380,000 people – it is helping to challenge harmful cultures and create a society where women can feel safe. – click here to find out more.
