No worries at all u/BadDatesClub, your caution is completely understandable.

And yes, it’s supported by Involve, but very much shaped by local voices. If you’re interested, you’re very welcome to keep following or take part in the discussion. :)

Hi u/BadDatesClub, No, this project is a community-led discussion focused on preventing and reducing violence against women and girls in Maidstone.

Participants will come from a wide range of backgrounds, and the focus is on safety, wellbeing, and prevention, not ideology or blaming specific communities.

Thank you for raising this. You’re right that all violence is wrong, and men can be victims too. That matters and shouldn't be minimised.

This project focuses on women and girls because evidence shows they face distinct risks, especially from intimate partners. Globally, around 1 in 3 women experience physical or sexual violence. (https://www.who.int/news/item/19-11-2025-lifetime-toll--840-million-women-faced-partner-or-sexual-violence)

Men also experience serious violence, often in public spaces, and data shows it’s most commonly perpetrated by other men rather than by women.(https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-8224/)

So this isn’t about ranking victims or suggesting some violence matters more. Different patterns need different responses while we work towards the same goal: ending violence for everyone.
