Each year around 2 million women in the UK experience male violence, including harassment, stalking and assault (Home Office, 2023). Watch this message from one of our #HospitalDoctorsUnion members in support of #reclaimthenight - standing together against gender-based violence and harassment.
As the nights get darker, the Earth will turn back toward the sun.
But the darkness that fuels violence against women and girls won’t fade on its own.
It’s time to act to reclaim the Night, and reclaim our lives.
