Rebecca Myrie, Head of Community Engagement at MK College, said; “White Ribbon Day reminds us of our collective role in creating a safer community. By uniting to raise awareness, we not only support survivors but also actively contribute to a movement to end violence against women and girls. Events like the Football Quiz are a vital way to bring our community together and make a real impact.”
Lolly from MK Act added, “Allyship to women and girls means creating safer, more equitable spaces for everyone. Ending violence against women and girls requires men and boys to be allies who actively challenge harmful behaviors and attitudes. This event not only raises awareness but also sparks vital conversations, especially among young people, thanks to our partnership with MK College. 2025 will mark MK Act’s 50th Birthday and we thought this White Ribbon Day Quiz would be a great start to our celebrations and events to mark 50 years of providing help to families escaping domestic abuse in Milton Keynes.”
