Your sponsorship saves lives
In the UK, domestic abuse remains a national crisis, with at least one woman killed per week by a current or ex-partner.
The need to take swift and decisive steps against domestic abuse has never been more urgent. By running for #TeamWomensAid this International Women’s Day, you’ll be representing a charity committed to breaking down barriers survivors face when reaching out for support.
Together, we can #AccelerateAction and create a world where domestic abuse is no longer tolerated, in our courts, in our police, and in the lives of every woman and child.
