StopWatch, in partnership with the Institute for Inclusive Communities and Environments at University of Greenwich, presents findings from their innovative research exploring young women's experiences of policing. The study reveals troubling evidence of continued misogyny, racism, and adultification within police services across the UK.

Following the recent Parliamentary launch hosted by Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP, we're bringing this important conversation to our wider community including University of Greenwich alumni, staff, students, friends and neighbours.
