Women from across London’s multi-faith communities will be coming together today to help tackle key crime issues.

The Met-led event ‘Girls Allowed’ will bring together over 400 people from various multi-faith communities. The aim is to inspire under-represented women from within these communities to help tackle crime issues across London.

The event, held in Westminster, will emphasise to the audience the importance of their contributions to society, as well as providing them with the necessary support mechanisms to help them drive forward the messages and partnerships needed to tackle knife and hate crime.

Throughout the day, the audience will be encouraged to take a selfie photo, whilst holding a written pledge stating what they will be taking forward for the legacy of ‘Girls Allowed’.
