So pleased to have been involved - in a small way - in this work. We all deserve to feel safe out and about around our homes.

Guidelines which will help make parks safer for women across the UK are being launched today at a conference organised by the University.

This follows a recent study of 100+ women and girls from West Yorkshire which found that most believed their local parks to be unsafe.

[Law at Leeds @Law_Leeds]

Great to see Dr Anna Barker's research into how parks can be made safer for women highlighted in this @guardian article.

If you want to see a video of a jaguar playing with climbing ropes like a kitten with a ball of wool (and why wouldn't you) highly recommend this incredible tale of @Tavares_JuliaV research in the Amazon

[University of Leeds @UniversityLeeds]

During the expedition, the team had to use ropes and climbing gear to collect samples from the forest canopy, which was quite high.

While they were working one day, a jaguar unexpectedly appeared and started playing with the ropes like a cat playing with a ball of wool.

An absolute pleasure to work with @Barker1Anna on this - powerful arguments on how much parks can offer us, and why it's important women and girls have equitable access #InternationalWomensDay

[The Yorkshire Post @yorkshirepost]

"Whilst parks and public spaces are open to all there is still a long way to go to make sure they are used and experienced as safe places by everyone."

An absolute joy to meet Judy and Trevor last week - and what an amazing story. They've both faced the same cancer diagnosis, but thanks to research at @LeedsCancerRes Judy doesn't have to cope with the same long term effects her husband lives with.

[University of Leeds @UniversityLeeds]

This #WorldCancerDay, we’re celebrating the impact of cancer research at Leeds, including the life-changing implications of a bowel cancer trial for a husband and wife who faced the same diagnosis.
