The Light a Candle is an annual multi-faith event which marks the International Day for Elimination of Violence Against Women and creates an opportunity for Bawso and partners to come together to shine a light on the impact and prevalence of different forms of violence in Wales. By giving a voice to survivors and organisations that work with women and girls who experience abuse, we hope to raise awareness this is something we must tackle together. Speakers will include; survivors, the Canon of Llandaff Cathedral, Julie James AM – Leader of the House and representatives from various religions.
