Welcome to Stroud District Green Party

The epidemic of violence against women and girls exists in all communities. Data suggests that 1 in 3 women in the United Kingdom will be victims of gender-based violence at some point in their life. VAWG is a term used to refer to a range of crimes which disproportionately affect women and girls. Including rape and other sexual offences, stalking and harassment, domestic abuse, modern slavery, so-called ‘honour’-based abuse (including female genital mutilation, forced marriage and ‘honour’ killings) and image-based sexual abuse, among others.

In this session, women working to support or prevent these crimes will talk about the work they do, what more can or should be done and how this violence can be reduced.

Some of our speakers include: 

– CHRISSIE LOWERY, STROUD NIGHT ANGELS

– ELLEN PERRETT, STROUD WOMEN’S REFUGE (BERESFORD GROUP)

Following the presentations there will be time for audience questions and discussion – we welcome everyone and the session is free.

Can’t make it on the night? Register anyway and you will be sent the recording.
