Today is White Ribbon Day - Founded by White Ribbon UK -the UKโs leading charity engaging men and boys to end violence against women and girls.
The focus this year is on #TheGoal - A campaign to raise awareness about the challenges โ and dangers โ women and girls face in traditionally male-dominated contexts like the football pitch, but also public transportation.
I will be wearing my White Ribbon pin badge proudly throughout today and I hope will join me in showing your support by making the White Ribbon Promise to never use, excuse or remain silent about men's violence against women and girls.
You can find out more about #TheGoal and #11traits on White Ribbon's website .
If you or someone you know is affected by violence towards women - please remember that you can always email my office - and there are also some organisations linked below that you can reach out to.
