23.01.2022 This Wednesday 25th November is International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.

The Salvation Army wholeheartedly supports efforts to eliminate violence within families. Our commitment to gender equality means that we care about instances of violence which affect any person- as human life is sacred and all people should be treated with dignity and respect.
