The events will take place on:

Cllr Christian Gray, Portfolio Holder for Communities, Neighbourhoods, Enforcement, Economic Development and Transformation, said: “Violence against women and girls is an alarming reality that affects millions worldwide. This is unacceptable.
“The community safety team here in Hertsmere have been working closely with the Community Security Trust (CST) and the police to deliver women’s safety talks across the borough. These talks offer women practical everyday advice on how to stay safe both personally and professionally, so I would encourage people to come along to learn more about how to protect themselves.”
Free refreshments will be available. Anyone aged 18 or over is welcome to attend.

The safety talk is being coordinated by Hertsmere Community Safety Partnership (CSP) in partnership with the Community Security Trust's (CST) SAFE Programme.
CST is a charity that protects British Jews from antisemitism and related threats. The SAFE Programme was established in 2019 to help communities in the UK to access relevant security advice. SAFE shares the CST’s security knowledge with groups outside the Jewish community that are vulnerable to violence, extremism or hate crime.
