National Pubwatch is continuing to back the Home Office Enough campaign which targets the potential perpetrators of violence against women and girls (VAWG).
Launching the third phase of the campaign it provides advice to anyone witnessing abuse on the safe ways to intervene if they see an incident of violence against women and girls, ranging from sexual harassment – on the street, on public transport or at work.
The campaign will join forces with over 30 UK universities in a bid to protect women and girls on university campuses.
This fresh phase of the campaign follows statistics from the Crime Survey for England and Wales, in the year ending March 2022, which revealed full-time students were more than four times as likely to have experienced sexual assault within the last year than those in any other type of occupation.
There will also be a wider rollout of the campaign’s STOP prompt: Say something, Tell someone, Offer support, Provide a diversion, which provides the public with multiple options for intervening if they witness abuse in public places and around universities.
The Enough Campaign, which launched in March 2022, has to date included television adverts, billboards, social media and radio advertising. The campaign, informed by over 180,000 responses to the Home Office’s Call for Evidence and engagement with a network of over 40 stakeholder organisations and academic experts, has so far reached millions of people, driving action among bystanders and prompting reflection among potential perpetrators of VAWG.
