Walk at Colebrooke Park will highlight gender-based violence
Preparing for the Mothers' Union walk at Colebrooke Park.
A walk on Saturday, 26 November at Colebrooke Park organised by Clogher Diocesan Mothers’ Union will be highlighting the issue of gender-based violence.
The walk is expected to attract people from across the diocese and beyond and will also launch the Mothers’ Union’s 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence initiative.
The MU has been active on the issue of domestic violence for a number of years.
Speaking about the event, Diocesan President Heather Ellis said: “We are using this as an event to launch our 16 Days of Activism, and also for the launch of the 16 days diary.”
As well as the walk, those attending can learn more about the work of different agencies attending on the day, including Women’s Aid, the PSNI, An Garda Síochána, Enniskillen-based The Aisling Centre, Tearmann, a domestic abuse service based in Monaghan, and Hourglass, a UK-wide charity with a base in Omagh that deals with the harm, abuse and exploitation of older people in the UK.
