“She’s so chopsy…”. In Welsh communities describing women as ‘chopsy’ has always been negative, used to call out those who were ‘unladylike’, outspoken and unapologetic.
Welsh Women’s Aid is proud to be chopsy. It’s a privilege that many women don’t have, so we raise our collective voice for all those affected by the pandemic that is violence against women.
Being chopsy is how we get things done. It is how we change lives.
We will shout about the 1 in 3 women who will experience violence in their lifetime until we can all live fear free.
