Story
I'm supporting Welsh Women's Aid by running in aid of them at the Cardiff Half Marathon on Sunday 1st October 2023. The charity is close to my heart and they do such important work which can be a lifeline for so many women.
1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 children in Cardiff will experience abuse and violence at some point. This includes sexual violence, coercive controlling behaviour, forced marriage, sexual exploitation, female genital mutilation, stalking or harassment. Welsh Women's Aid work to make sure that everyone impacted by abuse can access vital lifesaving and life changing services, and your support will help them continue this support.Together, we make sure survivors and their families are offered practical help, advocacy, counselling and support in a crisis and longer term. Violence against women and girls affects us all and is everybody's business; everyone has the right to live free from fear and abuse. Help us end domestic and sexual abuse in our lifetime.Follow us on social media for updates on our work: @welshwomensaid
