Chris Green OBE, the founder and president of the national White Ribbon Campaign UK, used his keynote speech to call for an increase in collective action in ending violence against women and girls.
Mr Green, who is also a UN Leader of Men, said: “14,000 incidents of male violence against women and girls occurred in Hertfordshire in the last 12 months – while government leadership is important, the change we need is delivered by the local community, from schools to households to football clubs, from the age of seven and to the age of 70.
