Today is White Ribbon Day 2025 and marks the start the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence a global campaign to end violence against women and girls.

Every choice, every conversation, and every moment of accountability helps to create safer spaces for women and girls. Start small, here’s how you can help: call out or challenge any harmful attitudes or behaviours that dehumanise women, model respect, safety and healthy behaviours or speak up your voice matters.

Small actions can create big change. Together, we can create a culture where safety, respect and equality are the norm.

EKRCC celebrates Margate Pride! 🌈

05/06/2025

We are delighted to share that two of the wonderful members of our ISVA team, Cally and Esme, were invited to a reception hosted by MP Alex Davies-Jones (Minister for Victims and Violence Against Women and Girls/VAWG) to thank organisations such as ours who work so incredibly hard to support those who have experienced sexual and domestic violence. It is so important that this vital work is recognised and that survivors voices are not silenced, so this was a proud day indeed!
