The Violence Against Woman and Girls programme is looking to co-design solutions to violence against women and girls with young people across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland (LLR). They will be co-creating resources, an education package and a bystander campaign to prevent sexual violence.

To create a fair opportunity for all, applications are welcomed from all of LLR. Please see attached the poster and application form.

If you'd like to be involved with this please fill out the attached application form explaining why your young people would be a great group to partake in the co-design session and return this to sharan.dhillon@leics.police.uk

The application deadline is on the 21.04.24 at 5pm.

The young people who participate will receive a £20 voucher, food and drinks at the co-design session as well as a certificate from the OPCC's office for their participation in the VAWG initiative. Furthermore, they will have an opportunity to join the Empowering Voices Making Choices oversight group to oversee the project at each stage of development. The organisations will receive a £1000 grant. Only six organisations will be successful, with a minimum of 6 young people per group and maximum of 10.

If you have questions, please do not hesitate contact the Violence Against Women and Girls Programme Lead for the OPCC, Sharan Dhillon - sharan.dhillon@leics.police.uk.
