White Ribbon Day will see thousands of people attempt to raise awareness in men and boys to prevent
violence towards women and girls.
Southeastern will also take the opportunity to remind the public of their Rail to Refuge scheme that aids in the rehabilitation and saving of lives of victims of domestic abuse.
Initially starting out as a collaboration between Women’s Aid and Southeastern, Rail to Refuge started life during 2019 by offering free train travel to anybody in need of refuge service and was soon joined by Great Western Railway.
The initial aim of Rail to Refuge is to remove the barrier that many escaping domestic abuse face, being able to raise the money needed to pay for train fares to allow them to flee.
2020 has seen all train operators in Great Britain sign up for the lifesaving scheme.
