Linking hands,ribbons and resources against violenceIt's great fun to click on the Map - on the Pledge Menu, and discover our friends pledging up from Overseas- so far in Belgium and France, Canada and the United States. I know from other networks that there are loads of men doing anti violence against women stuff all over the world, - we will be hoping to talk to you very soon.
Our priority is to get 5,000 pledges from UK men to start withm and to get 25% of them taking some sort of action
Getting the pledges on the page is just the start - this ability we have now to add resources on our own is great- we want to be overwhelmed with useful resources that we can all share- all our materials are copyable and we hope others will feel the same way. I am still ot very good at adding photos to stories, but we are able to do it in out blog, so take a look at that. Short term adn long term volunteers are always welcome in what is one of the greatest places to live in the UK.
