Support 16 Days campaign

The annual 16 Days of Activism for No Violence Against Women and Children campaign started on Saturday November 25 (International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women) and runs until Saturday December 10 (International Human Rights Day).

It is an international campaign that raises awareness of the far-reaching negative impact that violence and abuse has on women and children, and on society as a whole.

The white ribbon you see on our masthead this week – and which we will run for the duration of the campaign – is a symbol of Northern News’s support for this campaign.

It symbolises the commitment of the wearer to never commit or condone violence against women and children.
