Around 70 people attended the Stand Strong Together event at the Ballymote Centre in Downpatrick in support of Newry, Mourne and Down District Council’s Ending Violence Against Women and Girls (EVAWG) campaign.

Organised by the Downpatrick, Rowallane and Slieve Croob District Electoral Areas (DEAs), those in attendance heard statistics from Belfast Women’s Aid on the number of women and girls experiencing domestic abuse in Northern Ireland.
