Wolves are showing their commitment to ending male violence against women and girls across the weekend by marking White Ribbon Day.
On Saturday 25th November, White Ribbon Day will see the world unite to spread the hugely important message, and as Wolves prepare to face Fulham on Monday night, the club will be playing their part.
A white ribbon will be worn internationally to support the fight against male violence on women and girls and at Craven Cottage on Monday evening head coach Gary O’Neil and his staff will join the cause.
Conversations have already started away from the first-team, however. Wolves recently held a workshop on domestic violence for the club’s under-21 players. Dr Lyndsey Harris, an associate professor of criminology from the University of Lincoln, delivered the session which included an interactive quiz, where the players explored the alarming statistics related to male violence against women.
It provided a thought-provoking session, which culminated in the signing of the White Ribbon Promise, signalling a commitment to never use, excuse or remain silent about male violence against women.
Dr Harris’ research expertise centres on improving services and safety for women, as she is the founding director of the University of Lincoln’s health, wellbeing and justice evaluation unit, so she was well-positioned to speak to Wolves’ young players.
