Barnet’s Labour councillors are launching an online survey on women’s safety to mark the first day of the UN’s annual 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-based Violence.

The survey follows a listening event for women and girls on tackling gender-based violence hosted by Labour councillors earlier this year.

The survey will be a further opportunity for women and girls to share concerns and experiences on violence against women and girls in Barnet.

The results of the survey, which can be completed anonymously, will be used to argue for more resources for women’s safety locally, and to help challenge Conservative-run Barnet Council to really make violence against women and girls a priority.

Barnet Labour Communities spokesperson, Cllr Sara Conway said:

“Barnet Conservative’s response to the crisis in safety for women and girls has been slow and uninspiring.

“Their strategy refresh has been delayed, with no real community engagement or new initiatives, and no local events for solidarity and support.

“Barnet Labour are determined to ensure that women’s safety is a real priority for this Council, and to put women’s voices are at the heart of a more comprehensive strategy for reducing violence against women and girls.”

Ends.
