( see the photograph below).\u00a0 The Global theme this year is \u201cOrange the World: End Violence against Women now\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">Like many of you, I\u2019m sure, I was dismayed and horrified at the number of refugees who died trying to get to a better life last week. The loss of 27 lives including 7 women, one of whom was pregnant, and 3 children is not acceptable.\u00a0 Whilst I accept this is not an easy issue to resolve Governments need to get together to ensure that such tragedies do not happen again.\u00a0 As I sat in my warm house protected from the elements of Storm Arwen I thought about the refugees in the rough \u2018camps\u2019 in France and hoped there was no-one on the seas that night desperate to escape.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">Good News\u00a0 &#8211;\u00a0 however I will end my message with more cheerful news.\u00a0 Malala Yousafzai, the young student who was shot by the Taliban after campaigning for girls to be educated, graduated at the end of November from Oxford University with a Philosophy, Politics and Economics degree.\u00a0 She was accompanied at the Graduation Ceremony by her proud parents and newly married husband.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">I hope you have all escaped damage from the Storm Arwen.\u00a0 Stay safe and well as the new COVID variant comes to the UK.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif\"><em><strong>Best wishes\u00a0 &#8211;\u00a0 President Pam<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<h5><strong><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">Newsletter<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">Members from <strong>S.I.Durham\u00a0 and S.I.Newcastle<\/strong> <strong>upon Tyne<\/strong> joined together with members of Streetwise on Wednesday 24th November to mark the beginning of the 1tt days of Activism Against Gender Based Violence.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 As the evening light faded, they walked together <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6159 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/northern-england\/files\/2022\/02\/Picture2-1-300x165.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"165\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/northern-england\/files\/2022\/02\/Picture2-1-300x165.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/northern-england\/files\/2022\/02\/Picture2-1.jpg 601w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6158 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/northern-england\/files\/2022\/02\/Picture1-1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/northern-england\/files\/2022\/02\/Picture1-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/northern-england\/files\/2022\/02\/Picture1-1.jpg 601w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> across the Millennium Bridge that spans the Tyne while attired in orange hats, scarves, orange masks, hi-vis jackets, glow bracelets and hand waving flags.\u00a0 As it grew darker, the bridge turned a magnificent orange in front of a back drop of an orange sunset.\u00a0 It was good to be able to stand together to protect against violence targeted at women and girls.\u00a0 ( see photos of the members from both clubs ).\u00a0 The event was covered by local press and drone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6160 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/northern-england\/files\/2022\/02\/Picture3-1-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/northern-england\/files\/2022\/02\/Picture3-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/northern-england\/files\/2022\/02\/Picture3-1.jpg 451w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><strong>S.I.
