South Broxtowe Police and Stapleford Fire Service stand against male violence towards women in charity football match
The annual match, this year taking place at the newly refurbished Stapleford Community Pavilion, aims to raise awareness of the White Ribbon campaign and Broxtowe Women’s Project (BWP). The Mayor of Broxtowe, Councillor Robert Bullock went along to cheer on both sides, with Councillors Sue Paterson and Richard MacRae also in attendance.
The Mayor has worked closely with BWP to raise awareness and funds for the great work they do to support women experiencing domestic abuse. Through their helpline, training courses, and drop-in sessions, they have helped countless women who have been subjected to male violence. You can head to their website (Opens in a New Window) to find out more about their work and donate.
White Ribbon have a yearly ‘16 Days of Action’ campaign, with this year’s theme being ‘We Speak Up’ (Opens in a New Window). Everyday misogyny such as catcalling and sexist jokes may seem initially harmless, but they can lead to violence if left unchallenged. This is why White Ribbon is asking men to speak up and call out sexist behaviour when they see it.
Broxtowe Borough Council are proud to be a White Ribbon accredited organisation, showing our commitment to tackling domestic abuse. This includes undertaking employee training, engaging in community work, and appointing a number of White Ribbon ambassadors among our workforce. Find out more about our approach to domestic abuse on our dedicated page.
It was a great match for the spectators, ending in a 4-2 victory for the Police. Well done to everyone who took part!
