Guernsey’s Stand Against Violence: A Call to Action
In a remarkable display of solidarity, Guernsey has recently hosted its first Violence Against Women and Girls event, drawing a crowd of over 100 participants, including high-profile figures such as the Bailiff, Mrs Louise Cripwell. The gathering was a melting pot of politicians, law enforcement, and charity workers, all united by a common cause: to tackle the pressing issue of violence against women and girls.

The event was not just a talking shop but a beacon of inspiration, with eight speakers from the UK and Jersey sharing their insights and experiences. The powerful narratives and discussions underscored the urgency of the issue and the need for a robust response. It was a day of learning, empathy, and empowerment, with the clear message that there is no excuse for inaction.

The feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive, with words like “amazing,” “inspirational,” and “powerful” peppering the conversations post-event. The presence of such a diverse group of attendees, including key decision-makers, signals a strong community commitment to eradicating violence against women and girls in Guernsey.

It serves as a reminder that Jersey, too, must remain vigilant and proactive in addressing such societal blights.
