We have two upcoming Ask Me trainings in the new year: February 15th, 2023, 9:30-4:30 and co-delivered with Thrive at their offices then we have an online course across four sessions on March 1st, 8th, 15th and 22nd from 6:30-8:30pm.
If you're interested or would like more info
contact Lorna at askme@swanseawa.org.uk or visit www.welshwomensaid.org.uk/.../register-interest/
For those of you that haven't heard of Ask Me, the training is free, open to anyone in the community, and aims to help people learn more about domestic abuse, understand the myths around it and develop the confidence to signpost effectively.
Beyond the training day, attendees will be part of a supportive community that they can return to with any questions or support they may require as well as further resources and training.

#16daysofactivism against gender-based violence.
“…we should let our voice be heard and hope that the whole of society could raise awareness of gender inequality.”
“Violence against women has been tolerated for so long that the world has become numb to it.”
“We must UNITE! Violence against women can’t be tolerated in any form or by ANYONE.”
We urge everyone, especially men, to continually challenge gender-based violence and inequality. It is vital to recognise inequality as the root cause of abuse of women and children, and to hold perpetrator’s to account.
We invite you to participate by adding your “palm,” to these comments at our co-produced exhibit in The National Waterfront Museum.

Today is White Ribbon Day! for today and the 16 days to end violence against women that follow, white Ribbon UK are asking people in their communities, organisations and workplaces, to come together, and say 'no' to violence against women.
White Ribbon Pledge, Live Art: Challenging Harmful Masculinity
White Ribbon Day – Friday 25th of November, is about men actively challenging violence and abuse against women and children.
A Co-Production Group from Swansea Women’s Aid invite's you to participate in a LIVE ART INSTALLATION at The National Waterfront Museum Swansea, adding your “palm” and a message of support to our paper palm tree.
The result will become a future–proofing narrative of our collective wishes for keeping women and children safe and challenging gender inequality, attitudes, systems, and behaviours which continue to harm them.
The Message Tree will be made from 90% recycled materials and adorned with effected women and children’s silhouette portraits, as well as their words on; the effects and continuing impacts of men’s abuse and violence, harmful attitudes within society and systems, in their lives.
If you can’t make it on Friday 25th November, don't worry you have a further week in which to visit and contribute to the tree, please tell your family and friends!
