We are delighted to work with the Crown Prosecution Service in putting together this important interactive seminar on women’s safety. We will be talking about Hate Crime – what is it? An attack of women of colour, of transgender? We will be exploring the issue of violence against women and girls and how this is prosecuted.

We will be hearing from Kate Brown , Chief Crown Prosecutor, Donna East, Deputy Chief Crown Prosecutor and VAWG Lead and Richard Dawes, District Crown Prosecutor and Hate Crime Lead. There will be plenty of opportunity for you to ask questions and take part in discussions around these topics and how you can stay safe and support others to stay safe.
