The 16 Days of Action commences on 25 November, International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, running through to 10 December, Human Rights Day. Linked to the 16 Days of Action, the 25 of November is also White Ribbon Day – a campaign that seeks to end male violence against women. The campaign spans these 16 days in order to highlight the link between abuse and violence against women and human rights.

After the murder of Janine Mundy in 2003, the police liaison officer worked with the family to create the J9 Domestic Abuse Initiative to prevent more tragic loses like Janine (Ja - nine) We have been funded by the National Lottery Community Fund for this project. Courses starting December 2021
Funded by East & Mid Devon Community Safety Partnership we are delighted to bring you our first step domestic awareness training for hairdressers. 7 out of 10 women who were murdered by a partner, ex partner or family member had disclosed about the domestic abuse to someone before they died. They often did not recognise it as domestic abuse themselves and didn't think to contact professionals for support. Hairdressers are one of the top 10 people disclose their abuse to, how they respond to that disclosure could mean the difference between life and death.
Funded by Exeter City Council, we have created a short film about positive feedback from those who have travelled through the journey of seeking support during & after domestic abuse. #whatgoodlookslike #strengthbased approach

"One of the best courses I have done. It has brought me a lot more than I had hoped for. Such a valuable & highly informative course which I cannot recommend enough. I have ongoing support which has been a lifeline."
“The most rewarding and enlightening course. It's made me really take a look at myself and others”
"I didn’t expect the change to come so quickly. It is as if a light has been turned back on within my soul."
"The sense of relief that comes with the understanding that at last everything is in the right context, (and they really know their stuff) is life changing."
"We have been lucky enough to go on this journey with may woman over the years from start to finish of the course and the feedback from them has only every been positive and your support to them and the other woman in the group has benefitted all those hundreds of parents and their extended families.
