LANCASHIRE County Council leader Jenny Mein is urging organisations from across Lancashire to unite against violence towards women.
Today is White Ribbon Day, which marks an international campaign to help stop domestic violence.
The campaign encourages men to pledge never to commit, condone or remain silent about violence against women, and to make their commitment public by wearing a white ribbon for 16 days.
To help make Lancashire the first White Ribbon county, organisations are being urged to pledge support.
Already involved are LCC, district councils, Lancashire Police, and the office of the Lancashire Police and Crime Commissioner.
Reports of abuse in Lancashire have increased over the past three years.
