In November 2006 GLDVP held a film night to celebrate the friends and family of women and children that have or are experiencing violence and abuse.

A new leaflet for friends and family members, with information on how to help and support women experiencing domestic violence, was also launched at this event.

We were joined by Frank Mullane, the brother of Julia Pemberton who, along with her young son, was murdered by her husband.  He spoke about the importance of this leaflet and how he would have benefited from having had this information at the time.

There was a screening of V-Day - Until The Violence Stops, Abby Epstein's remarkable documentary of the stories and experiences of communities affected by violence against women through the V-Day movement. The film is a celebration of women reclaiming their bodies and lives, leaving us with hope that change can happen.
