Safe Spaces Network in Hampshire

Sexual violence continues to be a significant issue throughout the U.K. As businesses and venues have a vital role to play in helping tackle violence against women and girls in public place, a network of businesses and venues across Portsmouth and Hampshire has been created to provide a welcoming and supportive environment for anyone who has experienced sexual violence and where any form of gender-based harassment or violence will not be tolerated.

Staff within the venue or business have received training to spot the signs that someone may need help and ways to deal with the situation as well as providing support to the victim.
