Will Supports Women's Aid's 'Real Man' Campaign | |
Women’s Aid is launching its ‘Real Man’ campaign in July’s edition of Cosmopolitan, encouraging men to become part of the solution to ending violence against women.
Will, who’s been an ambassador of the domestic violence charity since 2003, will feature in a collection of images aiming to challenge the stereotype of what a ‘real man’ is, with the message that Real Men aren’t abusive or violent towards women.
A range of other high-profile celebrities are joining Will in adding their support, including Huey from Fun Lovin’ Criminals, Duncan Bannatyne OBE, TV presenter Gethin Jones and actor Max Beesley.
Will and the other ‘Real Men’ are pictured wearing T-shirts designed exclusively by Henry Holland for the campaign. They’re available throughout June from Debenhams, alongside women’s T-shirts with the slogan ‘I’m a fan of a real man’.
The campaign has been launched to coincide with the World Cup: during the 2006 contest, reports of domestic abuse increased by 30% on England match days.
Will said: "I have been working with Women's Aid since 2003 when I became the charity's first Ambassador, and am so pleased to be able to be a part of the 'Real Man' campaign against domestic violence. I studied domestic violence at university and feel passionately that we need to raise awareness of violence against women and children and refuse to ignore it. Just by speaking out against domestic violence and being supportive of those directly affected we can all make a positive difference."
The July edition of Cosmopolitan hits stores on 10th June.
