16 Days of Action to End Violence Against Women is coordinated in Glasgow by Community Safety Glasgow Violence Against Women Team on behalf of the Glasgow Violence Against Women Partnership (GVAWP).

Between 25 November and 10 December staff from across Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership localities took part in events with Women’s Aid, Police Scotland and Community Safety Glasgow to raise awareness of issues relating to violence against women.

This year the theme was ‘Leave No One Behind,’ and people were encouraged to wear white ribbons to show their support. White Ribbon Scotland is an organisation that actively campaigns to involve men in speaking out against Violence Against Women. It aims to engage men and boys in taking action on the issue by raising awareness, promoting discussion and providing information and resources to support personal and collective action among men.
