Deputy PCC supports campaign to address misogyny and encourage people to ‘call out’ inappropriate behaviour

Derbyshire’s Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner Dr Fatima Eltinay joined officers in promoting a new campaign targeting gender-based violence, as part of a series of engagements in her role supporting the delivery of the Police a Crime Plan and to help tackle Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) in our communities.

The Deputy PCC accompanied officers on Sheffield Road, Chesterfield, as they visited pubs to secure support for the force’s Call It Out Campaign.

The campaign encourages people to have the confidence to challenge misogynistic or inappropriate behaviour towards women when they see it.

It educates people on exactly what kind of behaviour is inappropriate as well as giving people the skills to challenge it when they do see it. The campaign also reinforces that by standing by and saying nothing, people can inadvertently encourage this kind of behaviour.
