What a monumental week it has been for the UK SAYS NO MORE Campaign!
On Tuesday 17th May 2016, the campaign launched with its parliamentary event at the House of Commons, and on Thursday 19th held the media launch event in Soho, London.
You can see highlights of the parliament and media events on Storify.
Guests of both events enjoyed words from passionate speakers including: Karen Bradley MP – Minister for Preventing Abuse, Exploitation and Crime; Baroness Scotland, Secretary-General of the Commonwealth of Nations; Patrick Ryan, CEO at Hestia, Pamela Zaballa, Head of Policy for Women & Children’s Services at Hestia; Jane Randel, Co-founder of NO MORE; and Virginia Witt, Director and Co-Founder of NO MORE.
