Light a Candle Summary
On Wednesday 25 November 2009, WWNC held our 5th annual ‘Light a Candle’ multifaith service at Llandaff Cathedral to mark International Day to Eliminate Violence against Women.
Special guests Selina Moyo (Wales Strategic Migration Partnership) and Constance Nzeneu (Women Seeking Sanctuary Advocacy Group Wales) delivered hard-hitting but hopeful speeches. Naomi Brightmore (WWNC), opened the event, Reverend Canon Graham Holcombe led the service, and speakers from each of the seven major faiths in Wales gave a peaceful prayer reading.
Special thanks to Canon Holcombe, Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress of Cardiff, Joyce Watson AM, Anglea Burns AM & Jonathon Morgan AM and to everyone who came along to show support for the international campaign to end violence against women.
