This was the theme of the Region\u2019s 2022 conference in Liverpool. After the \u2018Covid years\u2019 this was a welcome opportunity to get together.<\/p>\n<p>The speakers offered a wide range of approaches to the main theme. Josephine Butler\u2019s relentless support for marginalised women in the 19<sup>th<\/sup> century linked to the 21<sup>st<\/sup> century fight against human trafficking.<\/p>\n<p>Physical and mental well-being came under the spotlight. Sessions looked at domestic violence, NHS staff during the pandemic and predatory marriage. Picking dandelion petals for syrup? This led to thoughts on the healing effect of the natural world .<\/p>\n<p>From corporate gender-based challenges of policing to personal life-enhancing choices within a family \u2013 the conference programme was full and fascinating.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=&#8221;white&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_media_grid grid_id=&#8221;vc_gid:1652709672217-41eafe2b-26be-7&#8243; include=&#8221;5673,5675,5674&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Region raffled a fine \u2018Friendship Star\u2019 quilt in aid of SIGBI\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/what-we-do\/our-charities\/deg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Diamond Education Grant<\/a>.
