Today begins 16 Days of Action Against Domestic Violence which is a global campaign aimed at raising awareness and taking action to end domestic violence and gender-based abuse. This annual observance. lasts until December 10th, International Human Rights Day. During these 16 days, individuals, organisations, and communities come together to advocate for a world free from domestic violence.
Domestic violence can cause significant physical and mental health problems in our children. For more information on the effects and signs to look out for, I recommend Barnardos website:
