As a member of the Neighbourhood Network, we want to encourage you in playing your part in the elimination of violence against women. The team at the Neighbourhood Network have all played their part and completed the 20 minute e-learning to become White Ribbon champions pledging to support this worthy cause.

This year to mark 25^th November  International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women the challenge has been to recruit 201 White Ribbon Women Champions and Male Ambassadors in acknowledgment of the 163 victims of domestic homicide and 38 suspected suicides of known victims of domestic abuse which occurred between 1^st April 2020 and 21^st March 2021.

“White Ribbon Champions and Ambassadors encourage men and boys to participate in the global White Ribbon movement. By encouraging individuals, organisations, networks and communities to say ‘NO’ to violence against women and girls, Champions and Ambassadors inspire change and drive the campaign forward”.

To sign up to become a White Ribbon Champion or Ambassador all you need to do is follow this link https://www.whiteribbon.org.uk/champions/  you will then be sent your welcome pack. You are asked to complete the e-learning package which takes around 20 minutes to complete and when finished you will be sent a certificate and an enamel  White Ribbon Champion or Ambassador pin.

So the challenge is on, let’s get sharing and get inspirational women and men signed up, by joining forces and working together we can work to end domestic abuse in our city.
