Community safety - Let's talk about women's safety

We want to hear your thoughts on what we can do to make women feel as safe as possible in the borough. What you tell us will have a big impact on what we do over the next four years to create and improve services.

We know it can be difficult to talk about these issues but by filling in this questionnaire, you will help to shape future services in Southwark. We really appreciate your input.

There is anecdotal evidence that suggests that female sexual harassment at bars and night clubs is seen as normalised behaviour and often goes unchallenged and unreported. Harassment can frequently be trivialised and women and men can feel that it’s not worth confronting; they should just ?get on with it’. However we want to send out a clear message that the council takes harassment seriously.

The Women’s Safety Charter will be a voluntary pledge from licensed premises (bars, pubs, clubs, etc.) with a number of commitments they will follow when dealing with harassment of women in their premises.
