Read Full ArticleA London-based security company is urging others to support the Women’s Night Safety Charter, to help make London a city where all women feel confident and welcome at night.
Pace Security is one of several London businesses to commit to supporting the charter.
It was launched in 2018 by the Deputy Mayor of Policing, Sophie Linden, and the Night Czar, Amy Lamé, as part of the Mayor’s Tackling Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy and London’s commitment to the UN Women Safe Cities and Safe Public Spaces global initiative.
To support the Women's Night Safety Charter, all organisations that operate at night sign-up for some simple pledges:
A spokesperson from the Employer’s Initiative on Domestic Abuse, a membership body that raises awareness of the role of the employer in preventing and recognising domestic abuse, commented: "At the Employers' Initiative on Domestic Abuse (EIDA), we believe that we have the most impact when we come together as organisations to keep employees safe from abuse and harassment.
“That's why we were delighted to hear about the many organisations signing the Women's Night Safety Charter and helping to make public spaces and workplaces safer for women at night in London."
Safer Business Network has shared an animated video to provide more information about the charter.
