Safety of Women at Night (SWaN) Charter

CoLab Exeter’s Resilient Women Programme Manager, Jeanie Lynch, has been working in partnership with the University of Exeter, Devon and Cornwall Police, the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner Devon and Cornwall, Exeter City Council, More Positive Me and Space Youth Services to develop the Safety of Women at Night Charter.

This charter has been developed as part of Exeter’s commitment to keeping the city a safe place, where women feel confident and safe at night. The Safety of Women at Night Charter is a voluntary pledge to prioritise the safety of women in Exeter, and to acknowledge it is the responsibility of all of us to take practical steps together to keep our city safe for everyone.

This charter unites organisations in developing a whole-city approach to reducing violence against women and girls and keeping them safe at night in Exeter.
