Overview
We want Camden to be a safe, strong and equal place for everyone who lives, works and studies here.
All women in Camden have the right to feel safe. Sadly, though, we know there are too many women who don’t feel comfortable when living, working or travelling in Camden, and too many women who have been victims of violence, assault, harassment or inappropriate behaviour.
In Camden we have zero tolerance for this behaviour and we are working to understand the experiences of all women and girls in Camden and take the right steps to ensure they feel safe in the borough.

Women's safety walkabouts
The Community Safety Service regularly conduct public safety walkabouts with women and girls throughout Camden. These walkabouts provide a vital platform for the Council, Police, and community partners to listen to women’s first-hand experiences regarding safety in public spaces across the borough.
The insights gathered during these walkabouts are crucial in shaping how Community Safety, Public Protection, and our partners approach proactive and preventive measures to enhance public safety. This includes considerations beyond patrolling and casework interventions, ensuring that women’s safety remains a priority in our strategic planning.
These walkabouts will continue to be held in various parts of the borough. The locations are determined based on input from women across the community, as well as data on the safety of women and girls in Camden.
