Waste collection vehicles across Causeway Coast and Glens are being used to raise awareness about ending violence against women and girls (VAWG).
As part of its ‘Binning Violence Against Women and Girls’ campaign, Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council has displayed messages about stopping VAWG on the side of its bin lorries.
The initiative aims to raise awareness about the Northern Ireland Executive’s Ending Violence Against Women and Girls (EVAWG) Strategy, with fleet vehicles playing a key role in broadcasting the message throughout towns, villages, and rural areas.
According to the council, the campaign is designed to create safer communities by drawing attention to the cause, as well as challenging harmful attitudes and signposting support.
Mayor of Causeway Coast and Glens, Cllr Oliver McMullan commented: ‘I am proud that Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council is taking a visible stand against violence towards women and girls. By using our bin lorries to carry this important message, we are reaching every corner Causeway Coast and Glens and reminding everyone that harmful attitudes have no place in our communities.’
‘Campaigns like this are an important step in creating safer, more respectful communities, and I hope it will encourage everyone to play their part in ending violence and abuse.’
