Violence against women and girls affects every one of us — and it’s time to come together as a community to stand against it. 💪👭💜
From 25 November to 10 December, Brent is joining forces with local partners to deliver powerful workshops, panel discussions, and events aimed at raising awareness, supporting survivors, and building safer communities for all. 🗣️🤝
These events — both online and in person — are open to anyone ready to learn, engage, and take action. 📚💬✨
Cllr Harbi Farah, Cabinet Member for Community Safety, Jobs and Skills, encourages everyone to get involved: “Violence against women and girls is a serious, widespread crisis that impacts people from all backgrounds. By recognising the signs, supporting survivors, and holding perpetrators accountable, we can make a real difference. Now is the time for all of us to join the conversation and take action.” 💛
🌍 Topics covered include:
• Honour-based abuse
• Forced marriage
• Domestic abuse
• Sexual exploitation
• Mental health impacts
• How violence affects children
• Trauma-informed language
• Multi-agency responses
✨ Highlight Event – 2 December: Join us at St Raphael’s Family Wellbeing Centre for a chance to speak directly with local police, gender-abuse experts, and community leaders about safety concerns, available support, and how we can work together to protect women and girls. 🚔👥💬
