Standing up for White Ribbon Day

Published: 25/11/2019

Flintshire County Council has once again shown their support to the White Ribbon Campaign for an end to violence against women.

Flintshire County Council Members and officers have been wearing white ribbons to promote awareness of the campaign, which aims to eliminate all forms of violence against women.

Colin Everett, Chief Executive, said:

“The UN officially recognises 25 November as International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. The White Ribbon is a symbol of hope for a world where women and girls can live free from the fear of violence.  Wearing a white ribbon is a great way to show support for this campaign.”

“Flintshire has been a keen supporter of this cause for many years, and is accredited by the White Ribbon Campaign for the work they do.”

Andrew Farrow, Chief Officer – Planning, Environment and Economy, added:

“Flintshire County Council is wholly committed to the White Ribbon Campaign and it is important that, as an organisation, we help to raise awareness by demonstrating our commitment and support activities around this important time of year.”
