Digital violence is emerging as one of the fastest growing forms of abuse against women and girls. In this blog, Anna Nova Galeon examines the 2025 International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and its theme, UNiTE to End Digital Violence against All Women and Girls, which launches the UN’s 16 Days of Activism. She explores how online harassment, image-based abuse, stalking and tech facilitated coercion are reshaping safeguarding responsibilities across health and social care, education, housing and the voluntary sector. The blog highlights the need for stronger digital safeguarding, clear reporting pathways, workforce training and robust governance, showing how tools like ComplyPlus™ can help organisations protect service users, prevent harm and build safer, more accountable environments both online and offline.

On 24 October 2025, the world unites for World Polio Day, led by Rotary International and the World Health Organization (WHO), to reaffirm the global commitment to eradicating polio once and for all. This year’s theme, “End Polio: Every Child, Every Vaccine, Everywhere.” highlights the power of partnership, vaccination, and public health collaboration in safeguarding generations from a preventable disease. For regulated UK sectors such as health and social care, education, and community services, the campaign reinforces the importance of infection prevention, equitable access, and compliance with immunisation frameworks. In this blog, Anna Nova Galeon explores how global health lessons translate into organisational accountability, resilience, and public trust, showing that ending polio begins with collective action and shared responsibility.
