The Toolkit team meets the VRU

A photo of a page on the VRU’s website with an image of The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, in a room full of young people, which is used to illustrate the ‘About us’ section on the site.

The people working behind the scenes on the ThisHasToSTOP Toolkit had the opportunity to meet the Mayor of London’s Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) to talk behaviour change and what works in tackling violence against women and girls (VAWG).

We presented the work-in-progress on the ThisHasToSTOP Toolkit and showed how we were planning to share the learning from the Redbridge experience and provide free resources and support for anyone working to make their communities safer for women and girls.

The VRU team were enthusiastic and very supportive of our approach and we agreed to look for opportunities to collaborate in future so as to support local communities to create positive change.
