To highlight the issue of domestic abuse and encourage victims – men or women – to seek support, the Council and its partners are taking part in 16 days of action with a range of events and awareness-raising activities.
The 16 days campaign starts on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, known as White Ribbon Day.
You don’t have to run, walkers are welcome too. For directions, and details of how to register for your free parkrun barcode visit www.parkrun.org.uk/risingsun.
The Council is proud to be a White Ribbon accredited organisation. White Ribbon UK works to engage men and boys in speaking out about violence against women and girls, to challenge gender stereotypes underpinning such violence and to challenge cultures that lead to harassment, abuse and violence against women.
