Will spend millions on literally restructuring cities and towns, than just stopping sexual predators.
Rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic level of logic here.
They could turn the streetlights back on for a start.

It’s literally just putting more lighting and CCTV in areas which largely benefits everyone, I don’t know why they had to frame as specifically for women and girls unless these lights turn off when there are no women around.
I hope there is some consideration that we should try and reduce light pollution as well.
Allowing buses to stop between stops in the quiet hours seems like a good idea.

Having the street with enoght lights would be beneficial and common sense!
The real solution is a much harder one to even envision, let alone implement (even if the powers-that-be wanted to). Dismantle Patriarchy. Quite how that’s done is a tough one to even answer for me.
All I know is that the only thing we’ll get is platitudes, a lot of money wasted on focus groups and consultants and then a new wave of transphobia (because its easier blaming a group who’s actually a victim of assault then it is to deal with the underlaying problems of society).
We have to turn the lights off and reduce expenditure to save money.
Ok we’ll put them on and install more cctv… but now we have to turn them off and cut back to save money.
I see an issue…

It’s physically impossible to get rid of crime, you can mitigate it as much as you like but barring just controlling all of humanity and removing free will it’s impossible
“Asking bus drivers to drop them between stops to minimise walks”
Posted from a town that has no buses past a certain time and where the nearest bus stop is a mile away
I bet the cost of this consultation and guidance scheme costs more than just getting extra police on the streets in areas known to be greater risk for SA which actually would make a difference.
Glad some consultants were paid millions to come up with this advice that will never be implemented.
I’m sure this is better than just funding the police.
How about safer streets for *everyone* – which largely comes down to a bigger and more visible police presence, especially late at night.
Men are significantly more at risk of violent crime on their walk home. It’s really just a problem of perception: women *feel* unsafe so they don’t go out. The constant media and political noise about how unsafe everything apparently is probably isn’t helping with that.
The actual suggestions are mostly good, although there is a downside to extra lighting everywhere (light pollution is a real thing). But why frame it as only helping half the population?
Jfc.
Or we could police streets better, educate boys that no means no and when offenders do offend actually slap them with proper sentences.
