7 Organisations Combatting Misogyny in Nottingham

Wed 08 Mar 2017

Nottinghamshire Police are the first police force in the country to rule misogyny as a hate crime. That includes physical or verbal harassment directed at women, because they are a woman, via any means. So, if you’re walking home and a group of guys decide to shout inappropriate, sexual comments at you, or someone grabs your arse on a night out, you’re well within your rights to report the behaviour to the authorities.

All you have to do is ring 101, and if the assault is particularly severe, call 999. This doesn’t necessarily mean that the perpetrator will be punished, but it does mean the police can collect information regarding these types of incidents – where, when and how often they happen – and work on making the streets of Notts safer for all. It also means that they can direct you to any support and guidance you may need following the event. There are some incredible local organisations who’ll go out of their way to help you...
