Wales joins campaign to end violence against women
Hundreds of people in Wales have joined others around the world to mark White Ribbon Day, campaigning to end violence against women.
More than 50,000 women experience domestic abuse in Wales every year.
Today's events saw women and men come together to raise awareness and show their condemnation of perpetrators.
Tom Sheldrick reports:

The Cardiff march and Llandaff Cathedral service featured in our report were organised by the charities Welsh Women's Aid and BAWSO.
Welsh Women's Aid aims to correct myths surrounding domestic abuse, and offers information and advice, including:
There are many forms of domestic abuse, but they mainly fall into four categories: physical, emotional, sexual or financial abuse
Once a man has started to abuse it is likely to happen again
There is no excuse for domestic abuse and violence
Domestic abuse takes place irrespective of income, lifestyle, sex, race, class, age, religion, sexuality and mental or physical ability
