Ross County manager Derek Adams has given his backing to an innovative new Police led campaign aimed at raising awareness around issues of domestic violence.

 

Fans at the game against Morton on the 21st January will recieve an A5 flyer, which will feature two unique QR codes suitable for smart phones. These codes take members of the public directly to the Force's Domestic Abuse webpage and White Ribbon Scotland's webpage.

 

Adams was joined by Scott Boyd, Northern Constabulary Inspector David Ogilvie and Ross-shire Women's Aid representative Heather Williams at Victoria Park, Dingwall to formally launch the next phase of the Force's campaign to tackle domestic abuse.

 

 

The initiative involves the White Ribbon Scotland campaign, which is an organisation dedicated to men in Scotland who want to end violence against women. They are part of a global campaign of men and boys committed to taking action to stop violence against women.

 

The aims of the White Ribbon campaign are:

 

Endorse and clearly state the vital role of non-perpetrating men in challenging and stopping violence against women

Identify, create and promote opportunities for non-perpetrating men to be involved in the campaign to Stop Violence Against Women in Scotland

Increase the capacity of men in Scotland to engage in the campaign to Stop Violence Against Women, through examination and dissemination of best practice from the UK and abroad

 

Ross County manager Derek Adams said: "This serious issue needs continuing support, we encourage all men to take a stand to end violence against women by taking a pledge at the campaign website. We also support the excellent work being done by Ross-shire Women's Aid in this regard, well supported by Northern Constabulary, all these intiatives go a long way to help highlight this problem.
