I had the idea for the first Reclaim the Night walk in Tunbridge Wells when walking across the Commons. When Lauren and I planned it, our fierce love of the Commons was at the heart of it. We didn’t feel safe because of the perpetrator of an attack on a woman, but we didn’t want to leave it at that and stay away, we wanted to proclaim loud and clear our right to walk from our village to town. The very lovely Ranger and Manager of the Commons could have been disconcerted by our “shouldn’t have to walk in fear on the commons” but instead they reached out to us and took us on a walk to show us the things they had done to improve sight lines and visibility and talk about whether there was more that can be done. We will always be grateful for their support, and we support the Commons right back when we say we hope they will belong to the community. We hope this opportunity will not be lost to secure the future of our always beloved Commons.

The mind truly boggles. THIS is a harrowing example of how *some* men are using technology, such as smart glasses, to exert power and control over women 😔🚨👓

This BBC News report is horrifying and we couldn’t not respond to it. Sadly, with technological advances come the individuals who actively look for ways to use these devices to exploit women and girls and take away our autonomy. It’s terrifying and creates yet another reason for women to feel concerned about going out in public and walking on our streets, a very basic activity that we have every right to do without fear of being intimidated, attacked or FILMED without our consent.

THIS IS VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND GIRLS. So is sending explicit photos of your ex around to your mates, or not taking no for an answer when she says she doesn’t want your number, or intimidating her just for fun on the night bus. Women do not owe you anything. STOP. Just stop.

LAST day to see brilliant exhibition , highlighting the UN’s 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence 🙌

These women have done so much to advocate for safer streets locally, from supporting the Protection from Sex-based Harassment in Public bill to commissioning vital reports and research into how safe women and girls feel on our streets, and we couldn’t be prouder to work with them year after year.
