Why do we march?

On the streets, women and girls experience misogynistic, gender-based abuse, harassment and unwanted attention from men on a daily basis.
71% of women of all ages have experienced sexual harassment in a public space.  
1 in 5 women will experience sexual violence.  
Women and girls should be free to go about their daily lives without fear of harassment or abuse. 

What do we want to change?

• Extend Night-Bus Routes for Safer Transport Access - Extend the city’s night-bus routes, such as providing a night-bus to areas like Kensington, to ensure everyone can get home safely after late-night events.
• Ensure Affordable and Safe Transport in Liverpool’s Night-Time Economy - Make transport home affordable, safe, and accessible for everyone working or socialising in Liverpool’s night-time economy 
• Work together to ensure a safer student night out.
