‘Walk in My Shoes’ is a campaign by Nottinghamshire Police designed to empower all women and girls, including anyone who identifies as a woman, to report where they feel unsafe and for us to understand how they’re feeling in our city and county.

The image shows a woman from the back holding a pair of trainers as she stands on a trail looking towards a treeline in the distance. On the right of the image there is a QR code and the words: Walk in My shoes. Scan here and tell us where you feel unsafe as a woman in Nottinghamshire.

Violence against women and girls is a national threat to the UK. It’s also one of the force’s key strategic objectives.

In the control room, we receive calls from women and girls every day who have been subjected to unwanted behaviour from men – this has to stop.

The campaign aims to help tackle violence against women and girls, and the first step is for us to listen and understand the women in our communities right here in Nottinghamshire.

The main objectives of the campaign are to;

Create safer spaces in Nottinghamshire
Make women and girls feel safer through our actions, alongside our partners
Address misogyny early – challenge attitudes and behaviours of boys in schools and educate early. This will be a whole county and schools approach including joint working with partners, schools, councils, etc
