Commit to Prevent! from Stop it Now! Wales

Putting child sexual abuse prevention on the political agenda July 26, 2010: Residents in Wales are being given the chance to get the prevention of child sexual abuse on the political agenda, thanks to a new campaign by Stop it Now! Wales.

Welsh Women's Aid Manifesto - Assembly Elections 2011

15 Gorff 2010

Many thanks to everyone who contributed to Welsh Women's Aid's Manifesto for the 2011 Assembly Elections. We received many responses and I'm now attaching our final Manifesto, which I hope you will be pleased with. We have sent this to all the political parties and will be using it as part of our lobbying in the run-up to the elections.

If you are in agreement with our final priorities, it would be really beneficial if you could email the parties and tell them! You don't need to write much, just a quick email to let them know you support Welsh Women's Aid's Manifesto, and that you hope their party incorporates our priorities into their own manifestos, for the benefit of women and children experiencing domestic abuse in Wales.

It would also be useful if you could bring up our priorities in any meetings you may have locally with AMs, and distribute the Manifesto within your organisations and to relevant external stakeholders and agencies.

Contact details for each party are as follows. It would be very helpful if you could let me know that you've emailed them.
