Almost every area of our lives is affected by public policy decisions, from our healthcare to the public transport we take. Women experience life differently to men and these differences are not always considered. Engender’s Delivering Equally Safe project is exploring the consequences of when these differences are overlooked, particularly in relation to violence against women and girls (VAWG).
We want to hear from women with lived experience of this violence, to explore how all areas of public policy can work better for women and be used to prevent VAWG before it occurs.
