I normally raise funds and awareness for men's health during Movember. This year, given what has happened in the last few months especially, this didn't seem entirely right.

Nia are a fantastic organisation, set up to stop male violence against women. They are also involved in the Reclaim the Night protest that will be happening on 27th November 2021.

I am asking those who would like to donate to think about splitting their donation between both of these fantastic causes. The link to my movember page is here https://movember.com/m/13992239?mc=1

Here is a bit more information about the nia project.

nia has three main aims:

• To provide services for women, girls and children who have experienced men’s violence.
• To contribute to ending male violence against women and girls.
• To inform and influence policy and public awareness.

They achieve their aims by:

• Providing high quality services for women, children and young people who have experienced or are at risk of male violence.
• Increasing awareness of male violence and developing services, contributing to research, debate and policy initiatives to prevent it.
• Challenging inequality and discrimination and celebrating diversity.
• Empowering and supporting women and children.
• Increasing and developing the effectiveness of resources through partnership, collaboration and multi-agency action.
