BARA hosted the annual
White Ribbon Trophy match
against the Lega Italia Rugby
Football League on Saturday
28th May at the Hunslett
Hawks Rugby League
Stadium.
David Bartlett attended the first
strategy meeting in Valencia in
Spain for the EU-funded HASP
Project (Honour Ambassadors
Against Shame Practices). White
Ribbon is one of two UK partners in
this new two-year project to
increase awareness and reduce
incidence of Honour Related
Violence (HRV) against women
(from forced marriage to so-called
“honour crimes”). The project has a
focus on engaging with men, and will result in an EU-wide network of Honour
Ambassadors to challenge HRV against women.
Thanks to Everyone for their Continued Support!
