Supporting 16 Days of Activism Campaign Against Gender-based Violence

The event, organised in collaboration with SafeWalk, aligned with this year’s theme to ‘invest to prevent violence against women and girls’.

The 16 Days of Activism campaign encourages citizens to show their commitment to ending violence against women and girls by sharing the actions they are taking to create a world free from such violence.

SafeWalk are a groundbreaking new initiative from SafeKab, dedicated to ensuring the safety of women when travelling. Representatives from SafeWalk were present at the event, to give insight into how their app works, and how it can help constituents across Glasgow North East.

This is such a great campaign and a great idea to help women and men who might feel vulnerable when trying to just get about safely.

It’s such a horrid experience to feel unsafe in this way and campaigns like SafeWalk and the 16 Days of Activism are really helping put a spotlight on it. The app is really good and simple to use.

The wider we can spread the work the more we can move the cause forward.
