Standing Together Against Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) and Non-Contact Sexual Offences.
#ItDoesMatter
9 in 10 people, regardless of sex or gender, have experienced non-contact sexual offences.
“My daughter Libby was enjoying University - studying and partying hard!
In 2019 she was refused entry to a club because she was too drunk, so her friends sent her home alone in a taxi. But Libby never got home. She was raped and murdered by a stranger who had a history of non-contact sexual offences.
Her death was entirely preventable.
I know Libby would be proud of this campaign, collaborating with Thames Valley Police and raising awareness around safety and reporting.
My hope is that you speak up, stand together, and stay safe. Had someone done this for Libby, she would be alive today.
Lisa Squire, Mother of Libby Squire
Your voice is powerful, and your actions can ignite lasting change.
The "It Does Matter!" campaign is about more than raising awareness, it's about empowering each of us to stand strong against violence and non-contact sexual offences. Together, we can make a difference.
Reporting non-contact sexual offences is using your voice and actions to drive change and create a safer environment for everyone.
Turn Up the Volume!
Stand Together Against VAWG!
United, we can shift the culture and challenge non-contact sexual offences where safe to do so and create a community where we stand up to these behaviours.
Stay informed and take a proactive approach to recognising and addressing potential risks. By acting as empowered active bystanders, we strengthen our collective ability to look out for one another. Together, we create a powerful stance against violence against women and girls (VAWG), fostering a safer and more supportive community for everyone.
Stay Safe and Look Out For Each Other!
