The mainstream media is full of promises to change how women's safety is protected in public spaces but so often these are empty words. 

Over 90% of young women have experienced harassment of some form, and policing is now so ineffective that rape and sexual assault has essentially been decriminalised. We understand there is no quick fix for gender based violence, but with recent Government initiatives focusing on street lighting and placing undercover police officers in pubs and bars we are gravely concerned about the lack of serious action being taken to improve the safety of women and girls.
We are going to be discussing the safety of women and girls in our area and ask how we want the world to change.  Lets get some ideas that we can take forward to our local councils to actually get action taken.

Please join us for what we think will be a lively discussion - this affects us all - we need the world to be safer NOW and for future generations.
