Date: 2 December 2025
Lord Mayor of Belfast, Councillor Tracy Kelly, has signed the White Ribbon Pledge at City Hall on behalf of Belfast City Council.
She was joined by Lucy McKeown from White Ribbon NI, Chief Executive, John Walsh and Director of Human Resources, Christine Sheridan.
The signing of the pledge never to condone or remain silent about violence against women forms part of the council’s wider commitment to support anyone who has been a victim of, or affected by domestic violence and abuse, regardless of gender or sexual orientation.
Belfast is accredited as a ‘Safe City’ for ongoing partnership work to support those who have experienced domestic violence, while the council also holds platinum status in Onus’ workplace charter on domestic violence.
