Welshpool group’s clear message to stop gender-based violence

Welshpool Inner Wheel members showed their support for a global campaign that wants a future free from violence against women and girls.

Members took part in a circular walk, starting and ending at The Raven, to show their support for the UNiTE by 2030 to End Violence against Women.

Every year, the UNiTE campaign focuses on a specific theme in support of the global, civil-society-led 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence campaign, which kicked off yesterday with the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and runs until December 10, Human Rights Day.

From November 25 to December 10 every year, The United Nations calls on people everywhere to wear the colour orange and to take action to end violence against women and girls in communities, at home, in public spaces, in schools and workplaces, during conflict and in times of peace.
