AM visits Port Talbot Women’s Aid
3 December 2008
Neath-based Assembly Member, Bethan Jenkins, has today (28/11/08) visited Women’s Aid in Port Talbot.
Ms Jenkins took the opportunity to meet with staff at the centre to learn more about their work in helping women who are victims of domestic abuse.
Speaking from the centre today, Ms Jenkins said:
“Assembly Members this week marked White Ribbon Day to make a stand against violence against women. It is important that we all make a stand and I have been thoroughly impressed by the work of Women’s Aid in Port Talbot who support local women and provide them with advice and shelter.
“Women’s Aid provides specialist training support to member groups on housing, legal and children’s issues and lobbies and campaigns on their behalf at a national level. If any woman is in need of support, I would urge them to call the Wales Domestic Abuse Helpline on 0800 80 10 800.”
