As part of the UN Women 16 Days of Activism campaign against Gender-Based Violence, Thurrock Council will host two community engagement sessions on Thursday 28 November.

These sessions are aimed at building connections within the community, raising awareness of Violence Against Young Women and Girls (VAWG), and sharing important resources to enhance public safety and support.

Members of the council will be joined by partners from the VAWG board, who will provide information, answer questions, and offer resources to those attending.

The Thurrock Community Safety Partnership (TCSP) has been out in the borough offering safeguarding support and community safety information about hate crime for National Hate Crime Awareness Week.

TCSP representatives and Essex Police visited Lansdowne Primary Academy in Tilbury, South Essex College, Grays, the Amazon Warehouse in Tilbury and hosted an information stand in Grays High Street to raise awareness to children, young people and adults about hate crime and how to report it.
