Launch of End Violence Month by Miriam Farid on 9th November 2024, an Initiative by End Violence UK Ltd

In the current era, a distressing number of women and girls are subjected to an egregious reality – violence. This situation sees one in every three women facing injury or harm, frequently from those closest to them. Such violence deeply scars victims, not just physically but also at an emotional and psychological level, curtailing their active engagement in societal roles and adversely affecting their families and broader community life.

Despite legislative measures against such violence in various jurisdictions, the prevalence remains widespread, with adequate countermeasures often lacking. This pervasive issue not only burdens healthcare systems but also undermines professional productivity.

Miriam Farid stands as a beacon of hope amidst this crisis. Through the foundation of End Violence UK Ltd, she is committed to eradicating violence against women and girls globally. She is initiating a pivotal campaign, End Violence Month, starting on November 9th, calling for widespread participation in this vital cause.

The Vision of Miriam Farid

Miriam Farid, the visionary behind End Violence UK, is driven by a profound ambition to create a world free from violence. Her personal journey, marked by Early Childhood Trauma and a series of abuses leading to a forced child marriage, has not deterred her spirit. Instead, she has transformed her adversities into a mission for change.

The establishment of End Violence Month on November 9th each year is a significant step towards achieving her vision. This initiative is dedicated to elevating awareness and prompting action against violence on an international scale, with Miriam’s own story of resilience and tenacity inspiring collective action towards this global endeavour.

Empowering Individuals to Act

Understanding the daunting challenge of combating violence, Miriam emphasizes the critical role of individual actions. The campaign led by End Violence UK focuses on educating communities about the extensive impact of violence and advocating for trauma-informed care and overall well-being. Miriam champions the idea that everyone has a role to play in creating safer environments through a collective sense of responsibility.

Who is Miriam Farid?

Hailing from Bradford, United Kingdom, Miriam Farid is a respected author and human rights activist, whose life is a narrative of resilience against odds. The daughter of Patricia Florence Suthers and Mohammed Farid, Miriam’s mixed-race identity and her commitment to peace and justice are central to her endeavours to end violence.

Join the Movement

End Violence UK Ltd is actively seeking volunteers to contribute to the global campaign against violence. The movement is particularly open to individuals who have faced various forms of violence, encouraging them to share their experiences and advocate for meaningful change. End Violence Month seeks to enhance its impact by partnering with a wide range of organisations, including charities, businesses, educational bodies and the broader community, to cultivate a united stance against violence.

Why We Need End Violence Month…

End Violence Month is a critical initiative for raising public awareness and fostering unity in the fight against violence. It aligns with other important campaigns such as Anti-Violence Month and Women and Girls Month, highlighting the synergy between various social justice efforts. Addressing violence against women is a cornerstone for achieving equality, development, and peace, resonating with the Sustainable Development Goals’ commitment to inclusivity and progress.

Final Thoughts

The inception of End Violence Month by Miriam Farid is a key milestone towards envisioning a world devoid of violence. With a firm belief in the efficacy of collective action and community involvement, Miriam inspires us to rally behind this cause and champion change. Together, we can redefine our societal landscape into one that ensures safety and equity for all.
