Consultation has concluded

Overview

Our Plan for Barnet focuses on supporting the most vulnerable in our borough, including women and girls at risk of domestic violence.

Last year, over 2,500 incidents of domestic violence were reported by women in Barnet.

We want to involve men and boys in taking a stand against violence to women and girls by committing to everyday actions that make a difference in homes, workplaces, and communities.

Violence against women and girls (VAWG) refers to harmful actions that mostly target women and girls, usually carried out by men. This includes crimes like rape, stalking, domestic abuse, and revenge porn

Violence against women and girls (VAWG) refers to harmful actions that mostly target women and girls, usually carried out by men. This includes crimes like rape, stalking, domestic abuse, and revenge porn, among others.

To support this, we have been running some resident workshops to hear from men who live, work, or study in Barnet to help shape a Charter for Men and Boys, outlining actions they can take to help end violence against women and girls.


What we are seeking your views on

We want to give the wider community an opportunity to share their thoughts on the Charter.

We welcome feedback from everyone - men and women from all backgrounds, including residents, businesses, visitors, and students in the borough. Your views matter to us!


How to take part

We invite you to share your views and contribute to the Charter by completing a short online questionnaire which will only take just 5-10 minutes of your time .

Please note the content of the questionnaire includes topics that may be difficult for some people to confront or discuss. If you or someone you know is at risk of violence, there is support available at, barnet.gov.uk/domestic-abuse
