The Women Friendly Leeds initiative works to make the city safer for women and girls.

Collaborating with the council, it is campaigning to make Leeds the UK’s first women-friendly city.

Ms Gobey said the design of buildings, roads and lights were “incredibly important” to women’s perception of safety.

Women Friendly Leeds runs a night safe space bus, which is situated near the Corn Exchange close to the bars and clubs in Leeds city centre on weekend nights.

A spokesperson for Leeds City Council said tackling violence against women and girls was a “key priority.”

In a statement, they said: “Walking day or night should never feel unsafe” and have launched “several initiatives to improve safety for women and girls”.

Initiatives include the Walk Safe App and the Jog On campaign, which aims to address sexual harassment experienced by women exercising in public spaces.

“Working in partnership with West Yorkshire Police, the Walk and Talk initiative invited women to share their concerns regarding safety,” they continued.

“We are using government funding to improve the physical space in parks in consultation with women and girls, to design spaces specifically for their safety and enjoyment.

“These campaigns take a whole system approach to improving the safety of women and girls in Leeds.

“This approach allows us to address specific concerns through increased vigilance.”
