EditorCampaign launched in Swansea to highlight signs of domestic abuse
Timed to coincide with White Ribbon Day (25 November), the initiative is being led by Swansea Council in partnership with South Wales Police, Safer Swansea, survivors, licensees, and members of the Business Improvement District.
According to the council, the campaign aims to raise awareness of “red flags” in unhealthy relationships and promote access to local support services. Posters and stickers — designed with input from survivors — are being placed in toilets across licensed premises in the city centre.
Guildhall to be lit up in orange
Council officials say an information table will be hosted at Morriston Hospital on White Ribbon Day, offering advice and resources to those affected by domestic abuse. The Guildhall will also be illuminated in orange that evening to mark the campaign.
Cllr Alyson Anthony, Cabinet Member for Well-being, said she was “very grateful to all the licensees, businesses and partners supporting this campaign,” adding: “It’s about providing practical advice on the red flags to be aware of — and making sure people know that confidential support is there if needed.”
Council Leader Rob Stewart described the white ribbon as “a symbol of commitment to ending violence and promoting gender equality.” He said this year’s theme — We Speak Up — encourages men and boys to challenge sexism and harmful behaviours.
