Also in attendance were @SKinnock, our @SaferNPT, Licensing & CCTV teams...

Adding my voice to thousands of others. Women are not responsible for preventing their own rape and murder. We need to address the misogyny and underlying attitudes that permeate throughout organisations and society if we want women to be safe in the streets and in their homes.
Today I sat with the sister and parents of a murdered women and I am bowled over by their dignity and strength of purpose. The families I meet keep me going. Its important to say that none of us wish to work against police but with them because we have common purpose.
Today’s ministerial advice to women concerned about a police officer
“Flag down a bus”
“Get support from a bystander”
“Call 999”
They also say there’s no issue of trust
My advice to ministers:
“Take Responsibility”
“Order independent inquiry into misogyny”
“Tackle male violence”
This week is an utterly devastating one as more details continue to be released about the murders of Sabina Nessa and Sarah Everard.
We have a right to be appalled and angry.
We have a right to ask questions.
We have a right to feel safe.
Anyone else feel like their entire body is out of sorts seeing the sentencing? It feels impossible to explain why this case in particular hits so hard.
The physiological impacts of working in the #vawg sector is something we have to begin to research
Today's sentence will never compensate for the degree of the devastation caused. We need to live in a world where no one has to go through this grief. A world where violence against women is destroyed. It is high time we had a whole-system response

I’ll say it again:
Violence against Women is not an issue of women’s safety, it’s an issue of male violence
Handing out alarms & increasing street lighting merely shines a brighter light on the inadequacy of the state’s response

There has been much media and press attention in recent weeks regarding people’s safety on the streets and in public spaces. Safer Neath Port Talbot is keen to address concerns in our local communities and officers have recently met with key partners to develop an action plan.
Our incredible team of Independent Domestic Violence Advisors (IDVA) have been recognised for their potentially life-saving work at this year's High Sheriff of West Glamorgan Awards.
