I choose to stand up, speak out and fight for injustices against women
Young women and girls are at risk of domestic abuse, sexual violence and harassment on the streets and in their homes. Solace is on a mission to make London a safe place for everyone.
In London, the threat of violence against women and girls has been magnified.
As we remember Sarah Everard, Sabina Nessa, Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman, and the countless other women who have lost their lives to male violence, it is vital that we come together to end violence and make sure every woman and girl is safe in our city.
This year's Solace International Women’s Day event will put young women’s safety firmly back on the agenda, coming together with other vital organisations and change makers to discuss how we can make London a safer city for every woman and girl.
International Women’s Day is a day that we as a people, men and women, come together to celebrate the incredible achievements, advancements and influence that we as women have.
International Women's Day to me means acknowledging how strong women are, ensuring to empower each other and also raise awareness of key issues that women in society face.
Women are powerful, nurturing and resilient and it is these key qualities that I choose to highlight and celebrate on International Women’s Day.
It is an honour to be given the platform and opportunity to be a panel speaker at Solace Women’s Aid International Women's Day event. Speaking on and raising awareness of violence against women and girls and domestic abuse, is imperative to highlight the injustice and gender inequality that women continue to face today.
I choose to continue to stand up, speak out and fight for such an injustice.
