Women's Night Safety Charter

Together we are stronger

About the Night Safety Charter

Prioritising the safety of residents, especially women, is paramount in Enfield. The aim of the Night Safety Charter is to promote women’s safety, particularly during the night-time hours. This charter forms part of the London 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.

Signing up to the charter means we must carry out these 7 pledges:

1. Nominate a champion in the organisation to actively promotes women’s night safety
2. Demonstrate to staff and residents that the organisation takes women’s safety at night seriously, for example through a communications campaign
3. Remind residents and staff that London is safe, but tell them what to do if they experience harassment when working, going out, or travelling
4. Encourage reporting by victims and bystanders as part of the communications campaign
5. Train staff to make sure that all women who report are believed
6. Train staff to make sure that all reports are recorded and responded to
7. Design public spaces and workplaces to make them safer for women at night
