Newport Inner Wheel supports the elimination of violence against women
United Nations International Day For The Elimination Of Violence Against Women And Girls. Awareness Walk: ONE DAY, ONE WALK in hundreds of towns and cities across the world.
To support “UNiTE and Orange the World” (the campaign to end violence against women) , members of Newport Inner Wheel Club organised a walk through Newport visiting many of our high street shops, businesses and chatting to members of the public.
"Our purpose was to highlight the United Nation’s Women’s initiatives and show our support for this worldwide campaign. Leaflets were issued with information to contact local services if help is needed.
"Our thanks to local people, charity shops, library and independent businesses who were so welcoming and supportive.
"The colour Orange symbolises HOPE for a future free from violence hence the orange glow we displayed."
