Standing up against violence

HAVE you taken the White Ribbon oath?
Wednesday 25 November was White Ribbon Day – a day to make a promise that you will stand up, speak out and act to prevent men’s violence against women.
According to the 2013 World Health Organization report, intimate partner violence is the most common type of violence against women.
It affects 30 per cent of women worldwide.
If you are a part of that 30 per cent or know someone that is, make a call to help and contact:
