25 November was White Ribbon Day, and at long last Oldham Council has committed to working to end men’s violence against women by becoming White Ribbon Accredited.

This is something the Liberal Democrats have been calling for over many years.

As an Accredited organisation, they will have to develop a comprehensive action plan to change the cultures that lead to abuse and violence, and promote gender equality.

Some of the actions that have been taken already include organising training sessions on domestic abuse, misogyny and sexual harassment.
