Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council has placed messaging on its waste collection vehicles to oppose violence against women and girls. The initiative supports the Northern Ireland Executive’s Ending Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy.

The strategy covers prevention, early intervention, victim support, and perpetrator accountability. Council vehicles will display the message in towns, villages, and rural areas of the borough.

Mayor Councillor Oliver McMullan stated the council takes a visible stand against violence towards women and girls. He noted the bin lorries reach every corner of Causeway Coast and Glens to remind residents that harmful attitudes do not belong in communities.

McMullan added that such campaigns help build safer and more respectful communities. He called on residents to contribute to ending violence and abuse.

The effort aligns with the council’s collaboration with statutory, community, and voluntary partners to advance respect, equality, and safety.
