As a result of COVID-19, It’s a Penalty’s campaign schedule has changed to mirror the postponement of major sporting events from 2020-2021. Please see our updated schedule below:
We are so aware that because of this pandemic, the vulnerable will be even more vulnerable to abuse, exploitation and trafficking, and the work of It’s a Penalty to protect these crimes and protect victims will become even more vital.
