See you on the slopes
When Ski Rossendale opened in September 1973, at 500m it boasted the longest artificial ski slope and largest facility of its kind in the UK. Now, plans are in place for a 50th anniversary celebration event at The Hill – the new name for the centre off Haslingden Old Road, Rawtenstall.
Dave said: “The ski slope is a legacy and it is one we need to ensure is here for future generations to use and to look after. We are proud to have indirectly built on that vision that was first had back in 1963 and created and all year round ‘winter sports centre’. Sales and Marketing Director at Rossendale-based J and J Ormerod Jon Thelwell recalled: “In 1982, I was at school in Hyde and we came to Ski Rossendale to learn how to ski because we were going on a school skiing trip to Italy. I went skiing abroad three times with school and each time we came to Rossendale to prepare us so that we had the confidence to ski on snow.”

Sexual violence against women remains problematic and highly prevalent around the world - BMC Women's HealthBackground Sexual violence is far more prevalent in most societies than is usually suspected in daily life. However, no study has systematically summarized the global prevalence rate and the major outcomes of sexual violence against women. Methods We directed a wide-raging search in the PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science, catalogs since the beginning to December 2022 for relevant reports about the incidence of sexual fighting touching females. The occurrence frequency was assessed with a random-effects model. The heterogeneity was estimated with I 2 values. Differences by research features were assessed over subgroup evaluation and meta-regression. Results A total of 32 cross-sectional studies were included (a total of 19,125 participants). The pooled sexual violence rate was 0.29 (95% CI = 0.25–0.34). Subgroup analyses found that there was a higher rate of sexual violence against women in 2010–2019 period (0.33, 95% CI = 0.27–0.37), developing countries (0.32, 95% CI = 0.28–0.37), and interview (0.39, 95% CI = 0.29–0.49). The analysis found that more than half of women (0.56, 95% CI = 0.37–0.75) had post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after experiencing sexual violence, and only a third of women considered seeking support (0.34, 95% CI = 0.13–0.55). Conclusions Nearly one out of every three (29%) women around the world has been a victim of sexual violence in their life. This current study investigated the status and characteristics of sexual violence against women, which could provide an important reference for police and emergency health services management.
