Walking on eggshells?
There are many forms of domestic abuse including coercive control, psychological, emotional, physical, sexual, financial, harassment, stalking, online and digital abuse.
We will believe you.
That’s the message from North Tyneside Council to reassure people that help and support is available for anyone who is experiencing, or at risk of, domestic abuse.
16 days of action in North Tyneside
To highlight the issue of domestic abuse and encourage victims of gender based violence to seek support, the Council and its partners are taking part in 16 days of action with a range of events and awareness-raising activities.
The 16 days campaign starts on 25 November, which is the international day for the elimination of violence against women or White Ribbon Day.
For the third year running we are taking over Rising Sun parkrun with the support of These Girls can Run on Saturday 23 November at 9am. Why not come along to an event that welcomes the whole community, and make a stand against domestic abuse?
You don’t have to run, walkers are welcome too. For directions, and details of how to register for your free parkrun barcode visit www.parkrun.org.uk/risingsun.
The Council is proud to be a White Ribbon accredited organisation. White Ribbon UK works to engage men and boys in speaking out about violence against women and girls, to challenge gender stereotypes underpinning such violence and to challenge cultures that lead to harassment, abuse and violence against women.
