As in previous years, our programme  action was focussed on supporting  the Joseph Cowan Centre for homeless women and local food banks: – the Felling Food Bank: £ 50 and West End Food Bank: £500.  By donating funds, it allows the organisations to respond to the needs of their clients, more appropriately.   We donated 25 Christmas Bags to Joseph Cowan Centre for homeless women.  Each bag contained a case of make up, shower gel, tissues, chocolate selection box, biscuits, and  tea and were very warmly received.

Let’s build that space together! As we conclude our 16 Days of Activism to End Online Violence Against All Women and Girls, remember that this work doesn’t end today. Thank you for being part of this movement. Together, we can create digital communities where everyone—regardless of gender, identity, or background—can participate fully and safely online. #EndOnlineViolence #16DaysOfActivism  

Effective legislation should focus on prevention through education and deterrence, provide swift justice pathways for survivors, and ensure consequences that match the severity of digital crimes. This means updating existing laws to reflect the realities of online harm, training law enforcement and judiciary on digital abuse, and creating specialised courts or procedures for handling these cases efficiently. Modern problems require modern legal solutions. #EndOnlineViolence #16DaysOfActivism

Stronger laws mean safer online spaces. Current legislation often falls short of addressing the severity and impact of online violence against women and girls. Policy change at local, national, and international levels is essential for creating lasting safety online. #EndOnlineViolence #16DaysOfActivism

We all have the power to create safer online spaces. Every interaction we have shapes digital culture. When we choose kindness and respect, we contribute to an online environment where everyone can participate without fear. Creating safety online isn’t just reactive—it’s about actively fostering positive interactions and inclusive communities. #EndOnlineViolence #16DaysOfActivism 

Everyone can speak up to help others feel safe online. You don’t need to be an expert or activist to make a difference. Whether you’re challenging a harmful comment, supporting someone being harassed, or sharing educational content, your voice has power. Every person who chooses to speak up instead of staying silent helps shift online culture toward kindness and respect. #EndOnlineViolence #16DaysOfActivism  

Spreading awareness and supporting others improves online safety for the entire community. Supporting someone through online abuse might mean helping them document evidence, connecting them with resources, or simply listening without judgment. Remember, collective action creates lasting change. #EndOnlineViolence #16DaysOfActivism

Digital platforms have a role to play in creating safer, more respectful online communities. This includes thoughtful content moderation, clear safety policies, and support systems for users. A safer internet is possible when platforms prioritise user wellbeing and uphold human rights. #EndOnlineViolence #16DaysOfActivism  

Update your privacy settings to protect your personal information. Regularly review who can see your posts, contact you, and access your data. Remember your privacy is a right, not a privilege. #EndOnlineViolence #16DaysOfActivism

Use reporting tools to flag abuse or harassment whenever you encounter it. Whether you’re the target or a witness, reporting harmful behaviour is crucial for online safety. Reporting isn’t just about individual cases; it helps platforms understand patterns of abuse and improve their safety systems. #EndOnlineViolence #16DaysOfActivism
