White Ribbon Day highlights domestic abuse
The White Ribbon Day campaign is highlighting violence against women with a march and candle-lit service taking place in Cardiff.
Candle lit service to mark White Ribbon Day
A candle lit service is being held at Llandaff Cathedral this morning to mark White Ribbon Day, a global campaign to end violence against women.
Groups from all over Cardiff will march to the cathedral to raise awareness and take a stand against the disproportionate level of violence suffered by women around the world.
Figures from The Home Office show a quarter of women in the UK will be a victim of domestic violence during their lifetime.
It comes as the Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Bill which seeks to prevent violence against women continues to be debated in the Senedd.
