Swansea City opens safe space at the Swansea.com Stadium

Swansea City and Swansea City AFC Foundation are backing domestic abuse support initiative J9 by launching a safe space at the Swansea.com Stadium on White Ribbon Day.

White Ribbon Day – a day highlighting the work of domestic abuse charity White Ribbon UK – takes place on November 25 every year and works to highlight different aspects of abuse against women and girls.

The theme in 2023 is #ChangeTheStory, with individuals and organisations encouraged to make consistent choices which can help women and girls live their lives free from gender-based violence.

Violence against men and boys is also on the rise in the UK, as well as abuse within same-sex relationships.

White Ribbon Day and J9 are two of a multitude of charities aiming to eradicate violence in the home, and empower people to live safely and without fear.

As well as raising awareness of the charities’ important work and messages, the Swans are proud to announce the Swansea.com Stadium is now a safe space in line with the J9 initiative.

The J9 initiative aims to create a network of safe places for survivors to speak out and get help with more than 3,000 professionals from business across the country trained to offer support, to listen and to help.

Those who are affected by domestic abuse can contact support and specialist services at the stadium.
