History of The vigil
History of The vigil
Established in 2020 the annual vigil enables Milton Keynes' citizens to mark their alliance with women and girls in our city and around the world, all of whom deserve to live free from violence.
The vigil resonates with people from all backgrounds, regardless of ethnicity, gender identity, age, religion, ability, or sexual orientation.
25 November is also a focus for preventative programmes, such as the UN Women's Orange the World and 16 Days of Activism, and the White Ribbon UK ambassador programme which is for men and boys.
The gathering is symbolic of the partnership taking action to end violence against women in Milton Keynes. Partners include the local authority, police, health services, parishes, voluntary sector and civil society organisations, faith groups, educational establishments and businesses. Participation has regularly included contributions from MK Youth Mayors and Youth Cabinet members.
The gathering invokes a positive vision for our city’s future as it develops and grows.
