LONDON, ONT. --
Women sharing their experiences of sexual violence has allowed researchers to paint a clearer picture of where women feel unsafe in London.
City Hall has released the 2021-2024 Safe Cities Action Plan that examines the scope of sexual violence against women and strategies to eradicate it in public spaces.
“There’s a lot of great work already happening in the community,” says Rosanna Wilcox, Director, Service, Innovation and Performance at city hall. “So (we’re) finding ways to determine how does this work get prioritized?”
In 2018, women were asked to identify public locations in London where they felt safe and unsafe.
