Orange Wolverhampton is our local awareness-raising campaign that is part of the United Nations' international 16 Days of Action to End Violence Against Women and Girls campaign.

The term Violence Against Women and Girls covers 5 specific violent crimes for which the vast majority of victims are female. These 5 crimes are:

• Domestic violence
• Female genital mutilation
• Forced marriage
• Honour based violence
• Sexual violence

However, it cannot be over-emphasised that both locally and nationally all organisations and services recognise that there are female and male victims and perpetrators, and that support is available for women, men, girls and boys.

Key campaign messages are:

• Wolverhampton says 'NO' to all Violence Against Women and Girls
• Organisations work very closely together to reduce the prevalence of these forms of violence and to support all those affected by them, including children
• There is help and support available to anyone affected by these issues
• Visit www.wolverhamptonsafeguarding.org.uk to find out about the help and support available
