DYN PROJECT SEMINAR

The Dyn Project Co-ordinator held a seminar at The Rhyl Community Fire Station in October 2008 on the needs of male domestic abuse victims and to highlight their service needs. Agencies in attendance were NW Police; Probation; Education; NSPCC; Women's Aid and Social Services.

During the seminar we were visited by the First Minister Rhodri Morgan, who was in attendance to officially launch the Community Fire Station

 

WHITE RIBBON DAY

The White Ribbon Campaign is part of 16 days of Activism against Gender Violence. November 25, International Day against Violence against Women and December 10, International Human Rights Day, symbolically link violence against women and human rights and emphasise that such violence is a violation of human rights.
• Domestic abuse claims the lives of 2 women each week;
• Domestic abuse affects 1 in 4 women in their lifetime;
• Violence against women is the largest cause of morbidity worldwide in women aged 19-44, greater than war, cancer or motor vehicle accidents.

In 2006, the Chair of Denbighshire Domestic Abuse Forum Sylvia Jones requested that everyone “commit to the campaign and wear a white ribbon to signify support for the elimination of violence against women."

Sports men and the Vale of Clwyd Trades Council around Denbighshire were also amongst others around the world making the difference in unmasking the hidden crimes of violence committed against women.

 Denbighshire Domestic Abuse & Personal Safety Forum called for all men to never commit, condone or remain silent about violence by men against women. In 2006 clubs who supported the campaign were Rhyl football club and Ruthin rugby club.

Michelle Davidson Beck the Denbighshire Domestic Abuse Co-ordinator stated, “I was really encouraged by the support we got from men involved with both Clubs, it demonstrates they are committing themselves to making a difference to all women they know. Men can speak out and intervene when our male friends and relatives insult or attack women."
