24/10/22: We all have the power to stop violence against women and girls. National Pub Watch is supporting the second phase of ‘ENOUGH’, a government campaign run by Home Office that highlights what we can do to safely challenge the abuse of women and girls and encourage you to do the same. With 84% of women experiencing at least one form of sexual harassment, 27% of women being victims of sexual assault (or attempted sexual assault) and over 29% of women experiencing domestic violence in their lifetimes, this is a societal issue we must all work together to solve. And a societal movement takes all of us to play our part.
Created in collaboration with victims, academics and organisations working on this issue, the campaign which launches today/this week aims to challenge perpetrators and the harmful attitudes that exist in wider society through a suite of assets developed by Home Office. A campaign website has also been developed to give guidance and support on what the different forms of abuse are and how they can be harmful, how to safely intervene when you see or hear abuse, how to receive support if you have been a victim and how to get support if you are worried about your own behaviour. All forms of violence against women and girls are abuse and never acceptable. Even small acts of recognition and support can help – it could be interrupting, offering support to the victim, or telling someone in charge.

If you’d rather take a more tailored approach to supporting the campaign and integrate campaign messaging and the ENOUGH logo onto materials in your own look and feel, Home Office would welcome working with brands to do so, so please contact laura.spooner@23red.com and is also on hand to help and offer advice and support should you wish to discuss the potential ways you could work together.
