Welcome back!

November 25th was White Ribbon Day - what is that you ask?

White Ribbon Day is a day for many to stand up, speak up, and say no to violence against women.

There is a significant increase in violence, harassment, and abuse towards women and this campaign is intended to raise awareness about the prevalence of male violence against women, with the ribbon symbolizing “the idea of men giving up their arms”.

Active in over 60 countries, people are urgently called to work together to prevent violence and make sure communities and homes are made safe for everyone

Today I speak with North Yorkshire Police VAWG Sergeant Amanda Hanusch - Moore on what the police are doing to make our communities safer for women.

How working with men to tackle toxic and outdated views is extremely important, and a very frank conversation about changing the culture within the police force itself for the better.

A really interesting chat and I am very grateful for Amanda's time to do this.

*I realise I said Anna at the very end, for that I apologise!
