The focus is now on prevention and only a few years ago the focus was on survivors so that was seen as being more forward looking. With high visibility cases in the media like the murder of Sarah Everard and the more recent murders of Carol, Hannah and Louise Hunt there is more momentum from all parts of society to pull together to end violence and abuse of women and girls.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/st-albans-and-district\/files\/58-OTW-Harpenden-25-group.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11499 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/st-albans-and-district\/files\/58-OTW-Harpenden-25-group-300x172.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/st-albans-and-district\/files\/58-OTW-Harpenden-25-group-300x172.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/st-albans-and-district\/files\/58-OTW-Harpenden-25-group.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>On Thursday 27 November the focus <\/strong>\u00a0was Harpenden <strong>\u2013<\/strong>\u00a0<span style=\"color: #ff6600\"><strong>Orange the World<\/strong> <strong>and <\/strong><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600\">\u201cHave You Voice Heard!\u201d. <\/span><\/strong>The thought-provoking and interactive event was held in the foyer of the Eric Morecambe Centre hosted by Harpenden Council and Cllr Beth Fisher, Mayor of Harpenden.<strong> Please <a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/st-albans-and-district\/files\/55-OTW-Harpenden-Victoria-Collins-MP.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-11497\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/st-albans-and-district\/files\/55-OTW-Harpenden-Victoria-Collins-MP-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/st-albans-and-district\/files\/50-OTW-Harpenden-25-Beth-Fisher-Mayor-Annie-Brewster.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-11493\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/st-albans-and-district\/files\/50-OTW-Harpenden-25-Beth-Fisher-Mayor-Annie-Brewster-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>click here for all the details including more photos: <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/st-albans\/otwharpenden25\">https:\/\/sigbi.org\/st-albans\/otwharpenden25<\/a>.\u00a0 <\/strong>There were families of victims of domestic violence in the audience which made the discussions very real.
