A CAMPAIGN to get Islanders to be ‘Real Men’ and unite in opposition to domestic violence was officially launched last night at the Opera House.

It has been organised by the Jersey Domestic Violence Forum and Women’s Refuge, and aims to show that Jersey is not a place which tolerates domestic violence.

The launch also comes at a time when the Island’s Women’s Refuge has been consistently full with all seven rooms occupied at all times. The refuge, however, has said that it will never turn anyone away.
